Some years ago, after I'd just broken the cast aluminum GM thermostat housing on my 292 L6 ['68 C/10 Stepside]. I went in to a close-by Pep Boys, and asked for that part.
He didn't have a GM one, but looked in his bin and came up with a Toyota 4.8L [? Landcruiser] cast iron housing that also had a 1/2'' opening at the top for a temp probe.
Still have it.
