dipstick information needed
I have a 1962 292 (C2AE-C) sump is in the rear of oil pan in my '55 Ford truck. I need the correct dipstick and tube. Is this the thin flexible dipstick? The older dipsticks are to short. Who has one to sell?

Sorry I don't know about the question though, Maybe post it in the 61 and up forum too, if you haven't already. Maybe someone there can help?
good luck

You might want to search e-bay in the 62 Ford section and look to see who may be parting out a truck or car. Then send him a message asking if it's a rear sump and does he have the dipstick - Jimmy!

Okay, I will try this again and make it shorter. F T E problems stopped the last try . I have both wide and thin, both 21 inches long , markings at 18 3/4 full ---19 3/8 -----20 add ----21 total . both from 59 rear sump truck pans.If you need one right away you can make one from a universal kit until you find the correct one .just mark it at those numbers , put the correct amount of oil in it run it to get the filter full , then mark the full mark and work on down the stick. 
Lets see if this will load now .

I checked the one in a 59 passenger car 292 and it is 23 inches long, if you had one of those it will look more oreginal to cut down and is better made than the universal ones . You would need the tube too .
