Is your truck an automatic? If it is, you may want to consider installing an auxillary automatic trans cooler. Normally 360 engines run fairly hot anyhow, but if you are running an automatic with the stock cooler in the radiator, alot of the heat could be coming from the trans cooler in the bottom of the radiator. Another thing is...does your truck have a fan clutch? or straight fan? if its a fan clutch, the clutch may be bad and the fan not turning as well. Also if your truck has Air on it, perhaps the fins in the AC condensor are plugged and not allowing air to properly flow...Good luck!
