Mummert has stainless dipstick tubes. I got one for my 56 and it is very good quality.

No repros are available that I can find, been looking for a long time. They do make repros for Tbirds (side mounted). I bought a TBird one (longer that the sedans (front mount) and remarked the dipstick to the sedan markings.
Since they make repros for the Tbird I cannot see why they don't make repros for the sedans.

CASCO also has the Tbird dipstick. I imagine all the Tbird parts suppliers have them
The truck tube and the TBird tube are different than the sedan tube as the trucks and Tbirds have a rear sump pan. .

In the 57-66 Ford Truck catalog, there are 3 or 4 dipsticks and tubes for Y-Blocks alone. I just cleared eBay of NOS truck dipsticks, as well as ordering a repop..
Johnny, I looked yesterday and by chance, I do have a sedan version in one of my spare engines, but I don't want to sell it yet. Maybe in a couple months. I've got some oil pan mods in the works and I may use that dipstick.

I had an new/old chrome Mopar dipstick that was long enough. Cut off a bit of the end to match the original did an oil change, ran the engine then scored a line on the stick at the full point. I guess if you did one less quart made a mark and then added another quart, mark. You would have the full and one quart low lines.

How long is a bird dip stick, from where it fits into the tube to the end?
