dipstick trouble

i have a 94 f150 with a 96 351w swap... the problem im having is i need a replacement dipstick with tube but cant seem to find one.. i bought a dipstick for a 351 but it seems that the tube itself is way too short an all the others that i look up look to short also compared to the one that was in there.. it enters on the driver side thru the block.. anybody have an idea?

Did the replacement come out of a car? I'd try car dipsticks.

i bought the motor from a guy in florida an the dipstick on it was kinda beat up an when i swapped in new heads an a cam we had a hard time gettin the dipstick back in so we tossed it.. i bought one from the parts store for my truck but the tube is way short so it wont work an all the others that i look up on summit racing seem like they are too short too
