Replace the thermostat, fill the radiator with 50/50 coolant/water and flush your heater core.

Not sure if your year has the heater bypass valve. Remove it and replace with hoses.

Using the recommended 195° thermostat, should get at least warm enough to melt the rubber off of your shoes.

I buy a lot of parts off amazon after getting part numbers from rock auto. Don't trust amazon for part compatibility.
