I have an 86 F350 2wd 460 that I'm rebuilding and I broke the dipstick trying to install it around the headers. It is a thread in style dipstick and I was planning to order a lokar or milodon flexible dipstick but they only seem to make them for the push in style pans, not the thread in. Is there any reason that I can't use a 96 460 pan from a 2wd F350 that has the push in style dipstick? The pans look identical and the dimensions are all the same, but I wanted to be sure there wasnt anything I was overlooking before ordering the 1996 pan just to be sure. I don't know the ins an outs of fords yet like i do chevys so I don't want to make a dumb mistake...hence my reaching out to those with the experience for assurance that I'm on the right path.

Thanks in advance for any input! This forum has been extremely helpful so far so thanks to you all for your knowledge!
