Some of the common causes of overheating are water pump, fan belt, fan,
thermostat, radiator, timing. You may want to cover these bases. Check for a
leaking waterpump, a stuck thermostat, slipping belt, clogged fins on the
radiator, etc.
If you are sure it is the radiator, it might be worthwhile to have it corded by
a radiator shop. If you do the removal and installation, it is not too
expensive.
If it has an electric fan, check to be sure the relays and thermo sensor is
working or wire the fan on all of the time. Some cars are wired so that the
electric radiator fan is automatically on when the A/C is on.
If the car overheats only a little bit, try turning on the heater to help cool
the engine.
If your gas guage does not work, fill your tank based on miles driven.
