The lower hose consists of a long metal tube with two short sections of hose on each end. No chance of collapse.

JD, no flow test, but I think it is going to get rodded this time.

Thanks John, JD, and Willis. I think I have enough of an idea now of how to fix it. I appreciate your input!

Thanks, Mal. That is the thread I had participated in before- I forgot about it. A plethora of info there!
Now, I'm going to use it!

Yes they are, I have driven the car some and let it idle for 20 to 30 minutes without any problem. The addition of the temperature gauge and sender insures more reliable information than needle gauge.

So, was it the radiator, or a combination of issues?

It was the radiator,but I had checked and done all the items listed in the OVERHEATING lists either before or after. It was a good suggestion and made good sense to clean the tube and water pump after getting the radiator rodded out. Also a good back flush. No need to put sediment back into the clean radiator.I replaced the temp gauage to be sure I could watch the actual temp. Runs at 180 to 190.
