Automatic Transmission Dipstick cross reference
I have a 77 F-150 Supercab C-6 400. The current AT dipstick has a part number# E7TP-7A020-CA, which near as I can tell comes from an 1980 C6. I believe my truck needs a D7TZ 7A020-B. So the question is: Is my current dipstick giving me any accurate reading, or not. Are they essentially the same part?

No Ford part numbers marked on parts after 1956. Just casting or ID engineering numbers, when applicable.

Thanks,that solved my problem with the dipstick but i'm wondering if it belongs to this transmission. I bought the transmission because it has the small block bolt pattern I needed to go with the 351-w I have for the truck. All of the engines you listed are large patterns so that tells me this dipstick doesn't go with this transmission. my question to you now is what dipstick is correct and is there a way I can identify this transmission, thanks again.

Yeah, tag is gone. Is there a standard dipstick that would go with tube length (17inch) for this c-6?

You will have to change the tube and the dipstick to match whatever vehicle you have.
Your "About Me" profile says 1957 F100, so there won't be an application if this is what the C6 is in.

I was a afraid you were going to use the gazillion word, there's a junkyard about ten miles away from me with a lot of old ford stuff still laying around i'll see what I can come up with there. This engine/trans is in a 56 f-100 I sold the 57, top of tube ends up in a pretty much stock looking location, thanks for the info it helped.

ford dipstik
I have a 1968 f100 with a 302 engine and not sure what transmission. The trani dipstick broke and is stamped D50p-7a020-bb and I've been unable to find anything that fits so far. Any help? I have looked at the transmission but I can't identify the serial number on it. I'm guessing a c4 but I'm not sure.
