Tim, ya wouldn't have a picture of that "Spill- less funnel" thingie that you discribed, 1000 words, remember.
I have 7 thermostats here all new for various vehicles and I don't see any with holes drilled in the flange.
I'd be real carful pulling the temperature sender that has the sealed capalary tube. The bulbs are fairly sensitive and the seal is easily broken and then ya got a pain in the arse gettin it fixed or replacing it with a new one.
I'm with Scott on this one, just elevate the front of the truck.
