[V8] Transmission dip stick

While driving my '91 today, the transmission decided that neutral was the
place to be and stopped shifting.  As I coasted to the side of the road, I
tried the mode indicator and manually selecting gears, but nope, neutral
was all it was going to give me.  Called AAA for a ride, and let it cool
down, after a while started it again, and put it into gear, it drove a
little bit then slipped back into neutral.  My gut says low fluid, and I'm
planning on pulling codes and digging in to it tomorrow.  But before I do
that, I know a few of you have the fabled transmission dip stick, any
chance someone could measure theirs so that I could get a read on the fluid
level with a surrogate dip stick?

As always, thank you!
