I'm running a dooley 10 quart pan. Do I just run a stock oil pump pick-up? And what about a dip stick?

Stock pick up won't work. Dooley says it will keep trap door from opening. He fabs his own pickups for these pans, they're $115 and he may not have any built right now. I just talked to him a month ago about this. Stock dipstick did work for me without having to put new marks on it.

I think it depends on what stock pick up is used. I cannot remember the part number, but I want to say it was a 1970 big block Corvette pick up that I have, it is almost perfectly centered in the box. No clearance issues... I will check the Mellings part number when I get over there.

Why won't it work? Why must the pick up be so close the bottom?

Not as simple as that.. The stock pick up will "fit", but the Dooley is a modified "stock" pan and has a trap box built into the bottom with a set of trap doors. the doors can interfere with the pick up if they are too close.
The distance from the bottom of the pan would be set the same as stock which is 5/16" to 3/8".
I will be at the shop later this afternoon after completing the "honey do" list.. ;) I will try to score a couple of pictures of WTH I am talking about. :-\

And just to clarify...the trap door opens to the rear, correct?

Yes, I think that is the one... :thumbup: :thumbup: Notice how small the round screen portion is? also, it is for a shallow sump pan, not at all unlike the Vette. The truck pan pick up is too deep and large and sits quite a bit more forward in the sump.

It should work, I have the same pan and that is what is on mine. you can check it for proper fit with a .99c can of Play Dough.. ;)
Be sure to TIG it in place once set. A welding shop should charge about $10~$15 do it for you. You can MIG it too, but TIG comes out really pretty.

Thanks GT. I still have my Dooley pan even though it's not on the boat right now. If I use it on another motor I'll need a pickup so I'll keep that in mind... At least half the price of the Dooley pickup!
