Just throwing this out in the open. Lot of you guys with problems have the older cars, the radiator itself may be the culprit. If it hasn't been flushed like it should it could be getting clogged not disipating the heat like it should. On my 97 I have to replace the radiator, when I drain the coolant it barely drains. Plus, my friend replaced his and everything is back to normal.

I am well aware of that, but Ford had a recall on them as well. Most of the headgaskets were probably replaced before they got there cars. Plus if there oil looks fine and coolant is fine, the headgaskets sound fine. Only way to know for sure is to pressurize the system and see if it leaks at all, if it does not leak, no headgasket problem.
