1972 Chevrolet C10 — coolant slowly disappears without an obvious leak

The reservoir goes from full to low over several weeks. No puddle, oil looks normal, and I cannot find dried coolant around the hoses. Is a pressure test the next logical move?

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 1972 Chevrolet C10 does it — then decide on parts. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. This is from a 1972 Chevrolet C10 in Nationwide. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.
