Angry F150 overheating. Need Help.

Hoping someone can give me some guidance. 1994 F150 5.0V8. Continuing over heating problem. I have replaced the thermostat, water pump, fan clutch, and all pertinent hoses. I have flushed the system. Truck can run at idle for an hour and not heat up. When you drive it, it takes about 20-30 miles to over heat. Oil is good. Recently changed. Does not look like any water in the oil. Truck runs great. Cannot find any visable leaks. I have now ordered a new radiator and am trying that avenue. I have been told that if head gasket was bad there would be visable evidence of water in oil and white, smoky exhaust. Truck is nickel and diming me to death and frustrating me a great deal. What else could be causing my problem? Thanks.
