92 f150 5.0 overheating problems

Hi i just got a 92 f150 with a 302 4x4 and i am haveing overheating problems with it. I have already replaced the waterpump, thermostat and radiator cap, (the fan is good) It only overheats the second it hits dirt (and that is what i bought the truck for). It happens wether its 80 degrees or 10 below. And it also starts blowing preston out when it gets halfway on the gauge (my gauge may be off but not sure). o and also the other day so much pressure built up that it unscrewed the radiator cap and it shot off AFTER i shut the truck off. Ive replace radiator fluid like 3 time and have had it 50/50 mix. The truck has over 200,000 miles but runs really good till this happens. I need help!!!!!!
