I have an LS3 from a 2014 SS. I put a truck pan when I swapped it, and bought an LS3 guide tube and dipstick.
I put 6.5 qts in and put the LS3 dipstick, and it doesn't even show oil. I added another 0.5 qt and still no oil on the stick. Oil pressure is fine at all RPMS.
The part numbers I used were 12634547 for the dipstick and 12625031 for the guide tube.
Here is a picture of the dipstick next to a truck dipstick, and the guide tubing coming up between cylinders 4 and 6.

In any case, my stick measures between 27 3/16" and 27 1/4".

You sure the truck pan is smaller? That doesn't make sense to me.....I would've thought the truck pan would have been larger. Heavier vehicle, harder working engine = more oil and more coolant. Just my warped sense of logic.

I have the same pan on another (6.0) engine and it hold 6.5 qts.
