Buying Cooling System Parts for a 1952 Fargo FO1 Pickup

On this vehicle, the cooling system system keeps operating temperature in the narrow band the engine was designed for, from radiator and water pump to thermostat and hoses.

  • Confirm you have the 3.6L 218cid L6 engine — every part on this page is matched to it.
  • Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.
  • Where labor overlaps, replace the thermostat and refill with fresh coolant whenever you change a water pump or radiator; original hoses on an older vehicle are on borrowed time.
  • Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against your old part or a service-manual listing.
