its an old vehicle, how is the condition of the radiator? that is the only component that you have not replaced yet.

what fan or what part of the fan did you replace? e-fan? fan clutch? if not already done I'd replace the clutch.

does your e-fan kicks on when your gauge rises past 215? if not change your temp sensor in the thermostat housing.

if those things don't help, and based on what you already replaced, then i'd look into a new radiator.

What degrees is it running at ?Or take a infrared temperature gun and check the temp of the upper radiator hose.
