If the heater hoses are getting hot, and the radiator is full of coolant, you could have a problem with one of the blend doors under the dash. The blend doors direct air flow thru the heater core and the vents.
Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Some vehicles from that era used vacuum pressure to control heating/cooling baffles. If you have a bad vacuum leak, then the baffle will never swap over from vent/cooling to heating.
THE STOP LEAK MAY HAVE PLUGGED YOU HEATER CORE TUBES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME CHECK THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE. IT MAY BE RUSTED OR CORRODED AND INOPERABLE. IT WILL BE LOCATED ON ONE OF THE TWO HOSES THAT RUN TO YOUR HEATER. I WOULD START WITH THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE. GOOD LUCK.
repeat backflush procedure to replicate fix.....use a radiator cleaner to clear blockages with all heater switches open so it circulates cleaner through heater plumbing as well...is it global to all settings ..defrost/ main heat ..floor heat etc?
Sounds like Heater matrix blocked, check pipes going from engine bay into bulk head both should be getting hot if one is not then may be worth removing pipes and trying to flush it through as would be expensive to renew it as its a large job.
