Welcome to the forum!
Right from the start of reading your post the thermostat sticking came to mind as you didn't mention replacing it. I would think that if I went to all the trouble of replacing the radiator and hoses then the thermostat would have also been on that list since it is probably the same age as the other components. Fortunately it is right up front and easy to access!
