Help needed with sb 318

Those dipsticks appear to be for car applications with center sump oil pans. As others stated, the truck dipstick for rear sump pan is quite a bit longer. I forgot to measure mine. I guess we know why it came two dipsticks. Previous owner tried to figure it out.
If you have a Dodge truck with a Magnum engine, try inserting that dipstick in this 318. Once you get something long enough to read, just drain the oil, pour in six quarts, and use that for your full mark.


So the dip stick question leads to another problem......when you go shopping for parts (like the correct dip stick), all the kid at the parts store wants to know is the make and model of vehicle it came from so he can look up the parts. These things are not in his computer. So I've got to come up with a vehicle the engine would probably match up to. Since the date stamp on the engine says 2-15-83, best guess for now would be a 1983 Dodge D200?

The dipstick tube mounts in the same place for both car and truck applications... The oil pans have the same shape for the area where the stick goes into the pan at that spot, there shouldn't be a difference...
