Transmission dip stick
« on: March 08, 2026, 02:53:32 pm »
I have a titled 1974 Chevy c10 stepside.  I say titled because it has so many replacement junkyard parts on it.  I think the engine is from a 1976.  So the cap is no longer on the top of the transmission dip stick and i can't tell how to get a replacement dipstick or how far to insert for a level measurement.  Can anybody out there tell me how to measure a dipstick for length?  From the tip to the cap?  Or tip to bottom of the finger loop, or maybe the top of the finger loop?  The transmission is a th350 as identified by pan bolt pattern.  The engine is a 350.  The instrument cluster is from a 76 I think and uses a voltmeter instead of an ammeter for battery charging indication.  Could be that the dipstick for any year 350s setup could work.  Anybody know??  Thanks in advance
Ricky
