Your best bet is likely going to be a junkyard... In a quick search of a few different autoparts websites, I did not turn up a replacement. Some universal ones, but no direct fit.

What area are yoy in? We have a pull it yourself yard by the Detroit area. I've picked up a lot of things there real cheap. Sorry just saw Wi. Maybe I could get it and ship it to you if interested. Any of these places in your area?

A 195*F t-stat will run around 200-205*F on the gauge.

If you can't find one at a salvage yard you might try something like ebay or LMC.

No junkyards around you? You could take that dipstick and tube out of an astrovan or fullsize truck that also has the 4.3 engine.

It sometimes better to actually go to the Junkyard. Calling isnt always that reliable. They get in and get rid of cars so often its hard to keep track of all of them. So they may say they dont have any, but probably do. just my 2 cents.
