# Stant 27175 Thermostat Gasket for GMC K1500, 1979–1984

GMC trucks were the professional-grade cousins of Chevrolet trucks, built side by side and often sharing the same engines and cooling parts. On the GMC side, the catalogs list the Stant 27175 for 9 models from 1979 to 1984.

This page is for one model only: the GMC K1500. It isn't a wall of every car ever made, just yours.

## Model this gasket fits

- GMC K1500 (1979–1984)
- Engines listed in the catalog: 6 Cyl 4.1L

## Help choosing the right gasket

The 27175 is a Stant Stat Lok thermostat gasket. The catalogs list its hole diameter at 1.81 inches, which is a handy check against the old gasket in your hand. "Stat Lok" means it has an adhesive backing that holds the thermostat centered in its seat while you bolt the housing down, so there's no gasket cement, no thermostat falling out, and less risk of cracking the outlet flange. Stant cut a different gasket for each housing design, and Don stocks several of them, so check which number your car calls for.

Before you order, match three things: your year, your model, and your engine. Catalogs list fitment by vehicle, but some engines had more than one thermostat housing design over the years. If your old gasket is still in hand, compare its shape and bolt holes, or just ask Don and Kathy. They'll help you sort it out.

## Real people behind the parts

Don and Kathy Leask have been selling obsolete and restoration auto parts online since 1997. Their eBay store, carparts2, was the second auto parts store on eBay. Over the years it grew into one of the biggest online sources of obsolete parts, with something like 11,000 to 17,000 unique parts listed.

These gaskets come from Don's own shelves, in original Stant packaging.

## Price is $9.95 plus shipping.

Don and Kathy offer a fair deal for this. Buying for a club, a shop, or a whole fleet of project cars? Even better.
