i already did that and got conflicting results (big surprise). Following up search results from sources that SHOULD be reliable left me with anywhere from 5 to 9 quarts. Seems to be many well informed people here so I thought a post here was worth a shot. I guess to be sure I will need to do some measuring.

This is what I am thinking as well. After I have a chance to do some measuring I will post findings. Thanks for the reply.

Trucks were always 6 quarts with the filter. The dipsticks never were correct. From new at the dealership we would add 5 run it for a minute let it sit 1/2 hour and trim the tube as needed to read 1 quart low. Then add the 6th quart.

Here is your pre-magnum trucks rule of thumb:
Small block: 6 quart total oil change.
Big block:6.5 quart oil change low deck and 7 quart tall deck. And if you are smart, you will run a proper big block filter on either one as they fit both.
Big block RV: ad 1/2 quart across the board.
