Looking for an OEM engine oil dipstick for a early 60's Chevy 283.

Greg, thanks for taking the time to have a look, appreciated!....I'm ok for a tube, still have one in the block.
If anyone might have a dipstick the one I need has the flat finger hook, the same as an early 60's Chev, my motor is from a 63 Impala.

If you can find it I'd be interested for sure.

Learn something every day.....Apparently the colour of the plug / tip denotes the length of the dipsticks that were used in the late 1960's & 70's Chev motors.
