I have a 53 239 but it should be the same. It's 11 3/4 inches to the stop,
1 1/4 to the add line and 2 1/2 to the full line

It just crossed my mind (old age also) I have one on my spare engine, pm me with your mailing address and I'll send you a dipstick.

I don't want to spoil the party but I think the dipstick on a 50 and 53 is not the same, in 50 I think there is no tube to set higher the dipstick from the block, on a 53 yes, so if I'm right the dipstick should not be the same.

Not that much a problem if a spare is free to you, you can cut it to the right lenght.

Yes Bob, you should be OK, the pan between those year's engine is I think the same.

And yes I don't know something, is when the bodyman will work back on the body !!!!

No it's not really trouble, he work outside on call for shop maintenance, so sometime the "outside job" is longer than expected...
