MotoRad makes the FailSafe t-stat and you can get them at most parts place. I got one a few months ago for my Bronco at Autozone. They are ~ $10 or $12.
I had one in an 85 Ranger almost 10 years ago. They are all I run anymore.
Here is their site FailSafe T-Stat/MotoRad

I found it easier to remove the valve when going on my trips. The engine pretty much needed max cooling anyway. I put it back when I returned, as I live in Manitoba. Three boilovers in the Rockys, was three to many. Good thing I had a Murphy Switchgage installed on the coolant with a buzzer on the contact.
