Need a measurement

I have been trying to find a dipstick for my 1978 300 6, and none of the parts houses can order them. I have one I can cut down to the proper size, but I don't have the measurements. Can someone please post the length of the stick and the measurements of the marks for full? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Why would you ask a question in the 1961/66 forum inre to a 1978 dipstick? It would make more sense to ask this question in the 1973/79 forum.

D7TZ-6750-C .. 300 I-6 Engine Oil Dipstick // 12 1/2" top of shield to safe // 12 15/16" top of shield to add one // 14" top of shield to end / Obsolete

1973/79 F100/250 2WD & F350 // 1973/77 F500 // 1978/79 F600.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has 1 = 913-220-5746.

FORD PARTS ONLY in Bayamon Puerto Rico has 1 = 787-786-9180.

It's probably because this is by far the coolest forum where all the cool kids hang out.

Thank you Bill. That is exactly what I needed. The post was just a habit I guess. I thought about that after I posted and didn't get a chance to edit. I'll remember that next time since the truck is a mutt of many different years.

And yes you guys are all very cool
