Overheating, tried (almost) everything. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The temp gauge in my 75, pulled from a later year, has 210 as the straight up mid point temp as that is where they expect it to run.

Never had an overheat problem, even towing a boat with 700lbs of camping crap in the bed with a air temp of 105 while running the AC.

You could split the difference and run a 180. That should give a running temp of ~195. That way if you do drive it in the winter, your feet will thaw out.
