350 dipsticks for 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking for a source for the 4x4 dipsticks and tubes for the small block engine. Here is a pic of what I am looking for.

Jim, Isn't that a van set-up? My 70 is under the booster of course the truck had manual brakes and was converted to power by a PO. So i'm not sure, that would make it easier on a lifted truck.

I'VE GOT A VAN PICKUP TUBE & DIPSTICK UIN MY 71 BLAZER. IT COMES OUT RIGHT ON TOP OF MY ALTERNATOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT COMES IN REAL HANDY FOR ME. I CAN CHECK MY OIL STANDING FLAT FOOTED ON THE GROUND, & MY @SS IS BUILT KINDA CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Somebody said that is supposedly the same dipstick as a big block chevelle and you can get them from one of those restoration outfits. I try and snag everyone of them sticks from the junkyard but usually somebody has changed the motor at one time or another and they never put the correct one back in.
Keep lookin.........

So does my 71 and it was factory power disc brakes.
That dipstick would beat the heck out of balancing on a 5 gallon bucket to reach the current dip stick under the booster and way too close to the headers

Hey Jim, I'm having the same prob. My K20 has this set up and i can't find the right stick for it. I'm going to a yard this weekend to look for one. I'll let you know if I find one for you.

I went one step further and used the extended oil fill tube (the one with the cool 710 cap) from a van. Now I can check the oil and add some standing on the ground. Sure made oil changes easier.

Mine also has factory power discs with the shorty dipstick....PITA!!
