Default head gasket?

So when I start my truck up after it sits overnight I smell coolant. It's also burning a bit of oil on startup too. I have the unforutnate feeling that my head gasket might be on its way out, as well as my valve guide seals. It's really irritating since I just want to sell the thing for a decent price, perhaps 1/3 of what I've got into it, and be done with it. It's also dieseling every now and again when I shut it off, and the temp guage has been reading a good solid 200-210 cruising around. I've got a 180 t-stat in it iirc.

I'm getting sick of always working on this thing.
