Hey, would anyone happen to know the length of the l83 dip stick in an 84'?

I can't help you with the length but an OE# would have 14060661 on the stick. Perhaps someone can measure tip to specific levels and to the cap of a correct part #'d stick. You of course need to have the correct tube to make an OE match.

I believe the resellers still offer a replacement for that. How accurate a reproduction? I've no idea!

User HOT ROD ROY will likely stop by and offer up a correct dimension but a WAG of 17 3/4 would be close.

Everything is OE on the car. Its a project but the only thing left is getting a dipstick and changing the oil and filter. just need to know if i already have one the correct length or if i need to buy a new one. Ill probably end up up draining the oil and finding out the correct amount of oil to put in and just put the silverado stick in there to mark off the length till i hit oil and get the length that way.

Yep, I'm watching. The p/n 14060661W is stamped on the dipstick in my '84. The length from the metal ferrule to the tip is 23 1/4". From the ferrule to the FULL mark is 21 1/2", and to the ADD mark is 22 3/8". When the dipstick is inserted into the dipstick tube, the ferrule slides over the top of the dipstick tube 1/2" to seal the tube.
