Late 60's Baker-York forklift engine ID

[ldequip]

Hello Folks,
working on an elderly forklift here and need to do a set of thermostats on this GMC V6. does any one have any idea what model this is? or what part number is needed for the thermostats? i was not able to find a engine ID plate but maybe they put it somewhere other than usual places?

thanks for the reply. i did get part numbers off the thermostat cover/water outlet (2383798) and intake manifold(2377025) but they do not seem to be much help yet in my search yet tho. thanks again.

Curious, old and sorta simple minded... Why not take the existing thermos to NAPA of some other parts house and ask then to match. Most had some ID of mfg numbers and of course temp range.

Matched size/shape and desired temp range, what's the worry?

i could do that altho my success with local auto parts stores / napa has been so low i didn't even think of it. I ordered a Gates number that i matched from a spec sheet that matches very close to what i have.

Most.people I see at a parts store don't know the difference between an alternator and a thermostat unless the computer shows them

What is the make and model of the forklift?

Its a Baker York TY150 if i am reading the plate right. somewhat faded... the thermostat that i matched up for it worked in the end. thanks folks!

A Gates #33509 thermo is for the Chevy 350 that should be in it.
