Hi Pat

So you have a Ford cab/instrument panel and a Chevy 6 engine...... and you are looking for a part number for a sender that will fit a Chev block and allow a Ford instrument to be compatible........

Sounds like hooking up a Mac computer to a MicroSoft XP software.....

The original sender on the Chev was a mechanical bulb into the block connected to the instrument panel..... all in one piece.

On the Ford block I am not sure if it was electrical or mechanical.

You may be lucky by pure coincidence to find compatible parts but you might be better buying a lotery tickets....better odds.

If you are concerned with getting an accurate reading to prevent overheating the block I would suggest an after market generic gauge/sender unit available at Canadian Tire or Princess Auto...... not original but they do work .........
