Hey, Dipstick
I am a new member and I will be posting pics of my 75 F150 Ranger XLT 390 soon. I was curious if anyone here can help me out, my dad recently checked my transmission fluid and left the dipstick out, then drove off losing the dipstick. I have called around(autozone, fordparts,lmctrucks) and can't seem to find a replacement. I was hoping someone on here could measure the length of their dipstick and the markings on the dipstick so I could get myself a universal and rig it. Thanks

I went and got a measurement off one. The number stamped on mine is D7TP-74020-DA. From the lid to the bottom is 25 and 3/4 inches. The full mark is 2 inches from the bottom. It has a 1/2" safe range and from 1 and a 1/2 down to 3/4 is the add section.

This was a Ford dealer only part originally, so you won't find it at any auto parts store. AFAIK, it's not reproduced.

Why would you bother with inaccurate measurements, buying a universal dipstick and rigging something up, when Number Dummy has practically laid the absolute correct NOS dipstick in your lap? At this point, to do anything other that buying it would be, IMO, a real "dipstick" move! LOL!
