How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?

Changed radiator and started truck without the trans. cooling line connected to the radiator. The truck ran about 20 to 30 sec. and alot of fluid was pumped out. Ive added 3 quarts and it still doesnt touch the stick.How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?
I'm pretty sure it takes about 5 quarts if you just change the fluid and filter,you probably didn't loose all that much, a little fluid makes a really big mess,but id want several quarts on hand,start it and let it get warm,then check it on the stick,keep filling it until its on the full,but don't over fill it,and make sure its warm when your doing this,id only add about a quart or two until i seen where it was at on the stick,there real easy to over fill,good luck with it.How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?
If it were completely empty it would take about 8 quarts just keep adding until you see it.It will be fine but do not drive it until you get the fluid to the proper level.God bless.
