Temperature Gauge - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello. My 72 350 barely registers on the temperature gauge, even after the truck has been running for a long time. I replaced a melted section of wire that was laying up against the header, but it still barely rises off the cold mark. Which is more likely to be the culprit, the temperature gauge, or the sender? I'm going to double check to make sure that the thermostat is not stuck open tonight. I don't think this would be the problem, since the truck never seems to get up to operating temperature. Any ideas???
