Temp/coolant/water pump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1970 with a 350. Just got it for free. I realized the temp gauge is pegged on cold. Also there was no coolant. Figured it air cooled itself when I drove it home last night. (It was a cold night). Should I replace temp sensor? Or whats the most common issue with a temp gauge pegged on cold? Also how do I tell if the water pump works? On a side note I also realized the belt bypasses the ac compressor. Any advice for my first repair on this truck?
