Where can I purchase an engine oil dipstick and tube?

I've been looking to buy an engine oil dipstick and tube for a '78 Bronco with a 400 in it. I have tried Summit, Jegs, CarQuest, etc., etc.

Do any of you know of a source for such an item? You're help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try www.broncograveyard.com They usually have things like that, and IF you can't find it there try LMC-Truck.
I think I've seen chrome dipsticks and tubes in summit and Jegs catologs, but not 100% sure if they had them for your application.

If push comes to shove and you cant find anything anywhere else, theres always the stealership. (Check JBG first)

I made one using 3/8" (I think) brake line and a dipstick from a 302. It fit perfect in the fitting through the oil pan. Some models had it going through the block, but it should be the same size.
