Spewing Coolant out the puke bottle!!!

Alright, well after driving around a little bit, when the system is warmed up and after the thermostat has cycled a few times, the temp gauge will start moving up, the heater won't work, and after a few more minutes coolant will start blowing out of the puke bottle. If you pop the hood the top coolant hose is under pressure like the radiator is plugged or something and so is one of the heater core lines. What is doing this? Anyone have anything similar happen, or at least have a theory as to what could be causing my truck to do this? Thanks guys,

-Matt

Did you check the oil for coolant?

Yea, the oil looks clean, but I could have missed some. There does look to be oil in the radiator...I'm guessing its the HG...after I just had the timing bumped to 16.5* too...now I feel stupid. So I'm thinking .020 over HG, I can't afford studs right now I don't think, so stock bolts will have to work. Anyone have a guestimate as th what this'll cost me?
