slight heating issue on my 83
So changed out thermostat, fan clutch and radiator. I drive on the freeway for 20min and the gauge starts to go up half way. Once I get off freeway truck starts to cool down. Do I need a bigger radiator, just recently starting to have this problem. driving around town is fine, Not loosing coolent and no leaks any where.

Yes, but is the new one working correctly. It can be tested by pulling it out (yeah, I know it's a pain) and placing it in a pan of water on the stove. Using a cooking thermometer, slowly heat the water and see what temp the thermostat opens.
