Take the truck to a radiator shop that can test for compression gases in the coolant or can do a pressure test on the system. do not let the pressure get above 6 lbs as it may damage the radiator. Or do a cylinder leak test as shogun1940 suggested.

so error in my typing ...was 70 not 7...have stopped the leaking at the bolts but still overflowing..purchase a temp gun to measure temp of motor and will replace antifreeze with water to make sure that is not an issue...will post results later after I get the next weekend off.

If you posted the correct numbers, cyl. 2 has only 5 lbs compression. There is definitely something wrong with it.

so took compression test...from the front to rear passenger side...72 5 65 70 (water is leaking is the passenger side closet cab (70) drivers side front to rear..72 70 80 43 if I put some oil in the 43...will go up to 60. I think the bolt leaking may be just thru the bolt...I was going to try to put some sealer on the bolt and but it back in to see if the leak there stops. still not sure what is causing it to blow water out of the radiator....suggestions? trying to find a mechanic who could maybe do house call or a shop to look at it before I pull it from the truck. Any suggestions for the Baltimore area?

edserp, You got good advice about doing the compression check before pulling the at fault head, or the engine. Remember it's much easier to do that with the engine IN THE TRUCK. I think even if you don't want to do that or can't, that it would be a good choice to have it done before you pull the engine. Pulling the whole engine is not always easy or necessary with these old flatheads, especially in trucks.

Because you are blowing coolant out of the radiator, I would not try block sealer until I had removed the head and checked for cracks. Take the car to Coleman Brothers, like John recommended.
