    I love those highboys. I spent many years using a 71 highboy brush buggy on the volunteer fire department back home. It was a 390 with Warn hubs with Dana's front and rear. The county Sheriff here Micky Owens bought it out of his own pocket and donated it to start a rural fire dept. He was famous for dropping a foul ball in the 1941 worlds series while playing for the St Louis Cardinals and losing the series. at 25 years old the truck only had 18,000 miles on it.

    Double dipsticks means the motor came from a car. But it has the truck oilpan on it. I believe the front one is block mounted and is original to the car,while the rear is mounted to the pan directly and is from a truck. They used different pans from cars to truck because of the difference in crossmembers. I know this because my Dad had a '78 f150 that had a swapped in 351 Cleveland and had the double dipsticks. Easier to leave the nonfunctional one in than plug the hole.

    FYI the reason yours most likely has two dipsticks is because that 360 probably came out of a 2wd truck with a front sump oil pan and someone put on a rear sump (which happens to be hard as fuck to find)
