Don't know if this is appropriate to your year, but my '76 had this problem- The "spring" inside the top radiator hose had rusted & broken allowing the hose to collapse & stop the flow of coolant when the thermostat would cycle - And I have pulled many a Wal-Mart bag off after it was sucked onto the A/C condenser of my '93-

That is after you've gone through the process of elmination, of course.....

Heres what I ended up doing to mine.
1) Removed Radiator, cleaned.
2) Installed wire mesh in front of but below radiator to catch all future dibris. (I have a photo of this if anyone wants it)
3) Installed 180 deg. thermostat.
4) Installed this:http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....Z5Z5Z50000050F
That was 2 yrs ago+ And I have never seen my temps over 210 since
