My 72 seems to be coming close to some starting issues. A couple times when I've turned the key, it sort of bogs down before it gets started. I was thinking it might be the battery (it is stamped as new in 2001). I put the volt meter on it tonight when I got home. It had 13.85. I started the truck several times until it bogged down and then tested the battery again. This time it showed 12.58. I just wanted to see if ya all thought it might be the battery or the starter before I spend the $ on a battery.
