Default Oil Dip stick location on 12 V

Hey gang, been awhile since I posted. Since then a new injection pump solved the problem. I never did mention anything about what my 12 V is and where it came from and where it is now.... So pretty much its a 12 V out of bluebird bus put into My 82K30 Silverado pick up. Either way, my truck does not have dipstick. Where abouts on the first Generation 12 V is this thing located? Any help would be great. Here is the pic of my truck, some call it a Sin about putting a 12 V in it but i call it Outstanding considering its a strong truck with an even stronger motor in it!

there is two locations, left side of the block all the way at the bottom, you should notice a freeze plug, or expansion plug, on the other side it is in the same place.

if you need pictures, I'm sure someone will psot them.

but you should have a dip stick all ready with the engine, if not you should have a hole in the block that goes to the oil pan, I have worked on some old bluebirds, but I have never seen one without a dip stick.

Thanks for the response. I was looking all over. I was looking at a diagram too, seems to be on the driver side all the way at the bottom. But its not open. THere seems to be a plug in there but i am not sure how to get it out. Maybe with the blue bird buses it came on the pan? I had to get a new oil pan because the sump was on the wrong half of the engine.
