You have a leaking heater core inside the dash. You will need to remove the dash from the truck and replace the offending part. If you go to this LINK you will find full instructions with diagrams from the factory manuals.

2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z-71. Coolant loss with no noticeable puddles or wet connections.

First- When was the last time you checked it & it was full?
Second- Is a lot missing (1/2 gallon)?
Third- check the oil dipstick for any antifreeze in there or any white smoke from the exhaust,that would indicate a possible head gasket leak.
Fourth- Do you smell antifreeze inside the truck? Look for a small leak under the glove box in the dashboard for the heater core.
Hope this helps

My truck has a smell of antifreeze inside.The cooling fluid level has not dropped at all.Can't find any leaks on floor board and windows are not steaming up.any ideas

Even though you do not feel antifreeze on the rugs. The only way
the smell of Anti freeze can get in the cab is, It's leaking from the heater core.
Maybe not enough to see a leak on the floor.
However, the heater core is inclosed, plus antifreeze will not
dry. it can sit at the bottom of the heater box, for a long time.
And the smell can stay in there for a long, long time.

Strong antifreeze smell when running the heater in 99 silverado, can't see a leak, strong smell, is heater core bad

Usually a smell of antifreeze in the cab when the heater is running is a sign the heater core is leaking. Just becasue you dont see a leak at this time doesn't mean there isn't one. It might small enough that the haet from the core is burning off the leaking antifreeze. I would suggest replacing the core before you get in one day and there is a puddle on your floorboard. Or if you go to a local parts store and rent a cooling system pressure tester, wait until the vehicle is cold, pressure the system to 12 lbs and then check for leaks. Hope this helps you out......

01 gmc truck 1500 2wd oder of antifreeze inside cab

the small radiator just inside the cab, where the hoses go to the heater is leaking. You may try using stop leak (many don't recommend this) or take off the heater radiator. it will probably get worse when you turn on the heater and fog up the windshield if not fixed. hope this helps.
