broken dipstick!
the dipstick in my 2002 F250 just fell off!- like rusted out..... Now there is just the hole leading to the crankcase- I stuck a pencil end in there short term since it fit snug- I am assuming I can ...

The entire dipstick tube is gone? You didn't what engine is in your truck. I looked around. If you have a gas engine it appears to only be difficult. Diesel is something else. I found something that might help? Again, didn't know which engine applies to you.
