Looks about right for these trucks. Mine ran about the same with a 180 thermostat. Back in the day most every one of these trucks I rode in ran about the same.
I put a 195 thermostat in mine and now it runs a little to the right of the first mark but I'm running a vortec engine which was meant to run a 195. I may just go back to the 180 for the summer though.
