This was described in an old forum. I bought a piece of straight rubber hose at NAPA having an outside diameter matching the inside diameter of my '47 radiator hoses, cut off two pieces about one inch long, coated outside of them with rubber cement and (making sure the radiator hoses were dry inside) inserted them into the bottom of the ford's radiator hoses so their bottom edge was recessed up in about one inch. After rubber cement dried I inserted thermostates into bottom of hose and slid the hose onto the head. That was about 10 years ago and they work fine.
