I need a new dip stick for my 1963 292 truck Y-Block. Obsolete has one in their catalog, Page 59, but the description of what it fits is confusing.
Link: http://www.classicautopartsonlinecatalog.com
Is there a difference in the dip stick length of the 54-56 truck Y-Block engines vs the 61-64's? In other words, will a dip stick for a 57 Y truck engine fit properly a 63 Y truck engine?

Dont know about diff in length, but there is a marked diff in width. The earlier stick wont come close to fitting in the later dipstick housring.

Thanks Mike. Hadn't even considered that the width could be different.

FWIW,,, I have a '59 F250 with a 14" tube straight into the block, it has a 21 1/2" x1/4 stick measured tip to top of cap.,,,,my '63 block has more tube and a 26+ stick,,,that HD motor may have more sump,,
