corrosion in coolant
I've flushed the block on my 64 C 10 (350) several times, and I still have nasty coolant. Looks like red mud. Is there anything I can put in to stabilize the block and stop the rust?
Running 50-50 ( roughly ) coolant..

Each time you flushed it was it one right after the other? Or was it done after a few days or more between flushing? If the latter, antifreeze or a rust inhibitor should stop any rusting.
