Coolant loss mystery - 1967 C10 283

My factory stock 1967 shortbed is losing coolant somewhere. It has the original 283 2V motor, which runs well and is in the proper state of tune.
The radiator is a 2 row job, which may not be correct for the truck.
Temp gauge sits in the left portion of the C-H sweep. I have measured with a mechanical and this corresponds to 180 deg F. Even on a hot day in Arizona, it doesn't move higher unless the level goes way down.
Radiator level will drop 2-3" even after a 30 minute drive. There's no evidence of leakage or exhaust contamination.
My thoughts are that the coolant is escaping the overflow vent while driving.
Maybe a four row radiator is the solution. Any thoughts?
