'68 running warm



My 120,000-mile '68 LeBaron has recently been running warmer than usual. Not overheating, but the needle on the temp gauge, which until recently always rested comfortably between the "C" and the first notch of the gauge, unless I was climbing the Tejon Pass at 70, is now moving to the middle of the gauge when I'm sitting in traffic only briefly or if I climb a hill. It isn't overheating to the point of steam billowing out and the needle all the way to the "H", but it's definitely running warm. And when that happens I'm getting coolant running out of the overflow tube.
All coolant components are new within the past year -- water pump, hoses, thermostat, radiator.
So, I'm just looking at a cheap easy fix like a thermostat, right? Right?
