Default lose of antifreeze

have to work on our 6.5 stake bed at work, its eating antifreeze somewhere. its not dripping or leaking, its not in the oil so my guess is its burning it via head gasket is there any other places i should look before compression checking the heads

if you are burning coolant you would have lot white smoke coming out exhaust and they say that some time you don't see the coolant in oil run die throw in coolant and use black light if it in the oil the black light will pick it on the dip stick
