slammed 84... thanks dude.. i thought of that already i have a second rad cap a t the highest point on the rad hose... but i just remembered im only using water .. no coolant.. so i bet thats half the issue.. also.. if a spark plug wire gets too hot will it fail.. untill it cools?

bro, i don't know how i missed this but that is a freaking badass ride you got. i love the old school rides! and yours is badass!
as for your overheating problem, if that is in fat the problem and not a timing issue, if you run straight water it will run cooler, all the coolant will do is lubricate and protect against corrosion. but if you have a plug or plug wire acting up that could be your problem as well. meaning it could be a timing issue. timing does crazy things if it is off by a single notch. if your timing is good, plugs and wires are good, and you have flow in the radiator, i would change the thermostat. did you just rebuild the engine too? if not how many miles does it have?
and lastly, on another note, is this the same truck that i saw before that was yellow? i remember seeing an old school build a couple months ago like this but was yellow.
