That is normal. My unrestored 216 runs at 180 all the time unless I'm stuck in a traffic jam like I was yesterday. Temperature creeped up to 190-200 and didn't come down till I started moving again.
Unless your radiator is blowing water and steam out of the cap, you aren't overheating.
Leave your truck alone. An electric fan will probably block more air than it moves. They look awful, too.
