Hi there, just wondering if anyone has a part number for the 160 degree thermostats for the flathead v8 in a 47 ford 1 ton? I have had no luck so far obtaining the right thermostats. Thanks!

I have been searching for one, and all I could find was a 180 thermostat, no 160. I'm sure you have found the same thing.

Yes, thats all I can find too.......there must be someone out there with 160 degree thermostats for these older Fords.....

If you guys can tell me the outside diameter, I may have a bunch of the 160s in a Robertshaw make, new. The Robertshaw number here is 370-F .

Found a partial list of applications for this stat. It is 2 1/2 in. outside diam. The listing says it will fit 48-51 226, 50-53 254, and Ford Cars 49-51.

Yes, that looks like it would work perfect. Do you have thermostats there or do you have a number? Thanks!
