But it's not. I already replace the heads and gaskets with fel pro gaskets, and brand new Odessa cylinder heads. Still has the same issue now before I did the job. And when I took it apart the first time, I saw no signs of a blown head gasket. I'm thinking it's a cracked block, and I'm trying to figure out which cylinder it's in, and what the best way to do that is.

Well there's always a chance, but I don't think it's likely in this situation because the problem was present before I put heads and gaskets on it as well.

Jack the front of the vehicle off the ground 8 inches or so when filling the radiator with coolant. This will help any air in the system find its way out. Once its full and the truck is back on LEVEL ground have someone start the engine while you watch the radiator opening for bubbling (radiator cap off). If your hoses are pumping up as fast as you say there must be a good amount of bubbles in the coolant. If you see bubbles you know the head gasket is not sealing or a cracked block. Doing the comp test will help you know which cylinder to look at when taking it back apart.
Also, the hoses are new and soft when the engine is off correct? New thermostat too?
Did the engine ever get too hot where the block could have warped and the heads wont seal now?
Just spit balling possibilities...
Good luck!
