1952-59 Ford 223 I6 THERMOSTAT HOUSING NEEDED

I am in need of a thermostat housing for a Ford 223 I6, going in a {EDIT; 1959 car. On this version the hose ****** is approximately 45 degrees toward the driver side} Mine got damaged while extracting the broken shutoff valve.
I do have a spare unit but I believe it is for a truck and the ****** for the radiator hose points straight up.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Rock Auto appears to have what you need. Check this page out: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...ystem,thermostat+housing+/+water+outlet,10337

 

Thank you, I should have specified it is a 59 Ranchero. Rock Auto doesn’t show any availability for 59 and the pictures in that link do not match what I have. Mine has provision for a direct circuit to the heater. This is shown by felpro #11501

 

Just found one on an auction site, gonna take a better look at my old one tomorrow before I buy

 

It’s surprising how much repair you can do to one with JP weld.

 

Yes I am well acquainted with JB Weld but that’s plan B
