C4 Tranny Dip Stick help!!

[Cucaracha]

So I just rebuilt my 351 C and according to the mechanic I left my rig without the dip stick and I know I had my dip stick. After going back and forth, I shorted him $50dlls. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody out there has any ideas from what other car I can use a dip stick? Water and oil may have entered the filler as when I wise riding my rig back to norcal and after 12 hours of going from 40 to 55 to 45 to 50 to break in the engine, the idiot of a mechanic did not correctly connect my mechanical oil pressure gauge form the manifold and all of a sudden I heard a pop and a cloud of smoke twice the size of my rig. You can imagine how I felt as I had just rebuilt the engine. After cleaning myself up (?:? wink, wink) my buddy noticed it was the mech guage connection on the manifild. Anyways, sorry to vent, my doc said it is good to get my thoughts out. Damn bronco has me in a tizzy!! Please help with directing me to the right side of the road. I am beat up and can't think straight. Many thanks...;D

first thing: find another person to work on your truck.
sorry to hear you had some issues. just be glad you had a loose line. hope the engine holds up well for you.
a dip stick should be too hard to come up with.

Do I understand that you are missing the C4 transmission dipstick or the engine dipstick?
Was the C4 pan plugged before you drove it?

Well shorting him $50 would almost cover having one shipped from JBG:

I couldn't agree more with all you guys about that mechanic...Got rid of taht dude!!!!
Good thing is that he did do a good job on the motor itself. After driving the rig that long and all went well......guess it could not be perfect.
Yes, it is the C4 Transmission dip-stick that I was missing. Now I am going to have my fluid flushed out and change the gasket.
Take care fellas!!!
