Is there such a thing as an oil pan with the dipstick holder built into the oil pan for a 1979 350 engine?

If there is could someone lead me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Question:
Was this such an odd question the reason no one had any answers, or is there no such thing?
Thanks again,
Bob

Bob I guess everyone that read the question may have been like me, I never knew of one, what application are you asking about, Marine, industrial, cars, dragsters, race cars,trucks? And why would one be needed?

I don't have anything in print to back this up, but I beleave that some of the medium duty trucks from that era that used a 5 quart oil pan
(total capicity 6 quarts with filter) used a dipstick that went directly into the side of the pan than rather than through the block.
