Thermostat not opening???

My 76 seems to reach fan on temps quicker than usual. Fan comes on and drops temp but I noticed the upper section of the radiator is room temperature. According to my cheapy temp gun the temp is around 110 degrees. Is this a thermostat that is not opening?

Probably low coolant in the radiator.

I guess I am getting senile in my old age. Last service I flushed and replaced the coolant. I just filled the radiator and overflow tank then forgot to burp it. Low coolant was the problem.

Just driving it around it would have eventually burped itself out and replenished from the overflow tank until the tank was depleted...
