1932 Thermostat housing for sale

Your parts are a thermostat housing for a 1930 - 34 Chevrolet and could also be for later years, but my parts manual only goes up to 1934.

 

3063255 is the upper half for 1929 - 34, but your lower half 3053265 is only for 1930 - 34.

 

This Thermostat housing was only used when the car had the optional Interior  Heater.

 

You will notice the right side of the bottom half of your housing has a hole where you are supposed to screw a nipple in to connect the return water hose that runs to the firewall.  The hot water supply  hose connects to another part that screws into the back of the cylinder head where the temperature gauge sensor screws in.  That part screws in first and provides another nipple for the  supply water hose and then the temperature gauge sensor screws into the top of that part.

 

This is the original way Chevrolet designed the parts to supply hot water to the optional interior car heater, but you will see people attempt to connect a heater using other methods that don't usually work as well.
