press in dipstick

my recent rebuild in my bronco, is now complete, save for the dipstick i need. The problem i'm running into is,all i can find is the screw in type. I can't seem to find the press in style tube and dipstick. Can anyone tell me what years i should be looking for?

why not get an oil pan with the mounting hole for the dip stick?

my truck has the press in style and it's either from a 1977 or 1988 if that helps any (probably not).
