Question Looking for a temp sensor switch housing

I'm trying to do an electric fan conversion on my old Dodge Dart with a slant six.
Found some good info on using the setup from a Cherokee on this site, but I haven't been able to find the temp sensor they used.
There are a couple of Cherokees in the local junkyard that have the parts, but their sensors screw into the radiator.
Does anyone know what year models used this switch assembly? It's circled in the picture below.
Thanks very much!

Since I don't have a Jeep, I didn't think I'd have much to talk about.
I've had several old Mopars, though. This project would be for a 64 Dart:

A couple of guys at work have Jeeps, but they're the old *****-era models and they don't know anything about the modern electric fan setups.
Nobody else I talked to has seen one of these sensor housings.

Figured I'd do like the old Packard slogan and "ask the man who owns one."

No problemo!
The old radiator works great, but doesn't have a fitting for a screw-in temp sensor - or anything else! I don't trust the little probes that go in the radiator fins.

Been searching for hours on the internet looking for that housing, but all I get is the sensors themselves.
