NJ WTB: Need 6 cyl thermostat housing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 08-01-2013, 05:27 PM

I need a 6 cyl thermo housing from a 250, 230, etc. in good condition.
Looking for one without the threaded hole in the top.
Pls post or send me an email with pics.

Thanks
Scott

I have an extra housing with the thermostat housing, but it has a water port for the heater and water temp sensor. Not sure if its what you need but i'm possibly local if you want to have a look.

thanks, appreciate it but sounds like the wrong piece. I need the part the upper radiator hose connects to, which housing the thermostat.

Pretty sure I have one. Ill check when I het home. If I do, you can have it for the cost of shipping.

That would be great! thanks

ls1nova71 · 08-01-2013, 08:46 PM

Found it. It does have some pitting where the radiator hose goes on, but some silicone or JB Weld I think would fix it up. Let me know what you think.

**ScottH** · 08-01-2013, 10:45 PM

That should be fine, just need the top part.
Sending PM

Thanks very much.

**ScottH** · 08-11-2013, 12:13 AM

still in need of a thermostat housing

**ScottH** · 08-20-2013, 03:41 PM

Any one have one???

**jabborabbo** · 08-20-2013, 03:55 PM

I've got an extra - pm me after 6 pm CST and remind me to post a picture (I'll be coming home after 11 hours at work and will most likelly be brain dead....)

**Todd68Chevy** · 08-20-2013, 04:21 PM

If the one that jabborabbo has does not work out then I might have one. I know I have a housing but not sure if it has the hole for the fitting or not. Let me know if interested.

ls1nova71 · 08-20-2013, 06:19 PM

Did mine not work???

ls1nova71, unfortunately after I cleaned up yours it was too far gone, had at least 3 holes & was afraid it might cause problems. Appreciate ur help though.

Not to be picky, but trying to stay original so looking for one without the extra hole.
Just a plain jane thermo housing.

Thanks to everyones help.

Scott

**jabborabbo** · 08-20-2013, 09:57 PM

Here's one that needs cleaning.

**ScottH** · 08-20-2013, 11:27 PM

jabb, pm sent

todd would be interested to see a pic of urs as well.

Thanks
Scott

**Todd68Chevy** · 08-21-2013, 06:39 AM

Here are some pictures. The good news is that there is no hole/ port. The bad news is that it is pitted pretty bad where the hose hooks on like the others.

**ScottH** · 08-21-2013, 10:05 AM

Todd, thanks for posting the pics.
Gonna give Jerry's a shot, if it doesnt work out I will let u know.

Scott

Sorry it didn't work, I didn't think the pitting was that deep. Anyway, I had a guy PM me about it, and I told him what had happened and he said he might still be able to use it. Any way you could send it back?

**ScottH** · 08-24-2013, 05:16 PM

Looked around for it but must have tossed it, sorry
