If you want to drive your truck often/regularly, and you will not be often/regularly driving over 40 mph, you might want to install a PCV system. Original PCV systems are hard to find (they started being used in 1948 on Chevrolet trucks).

I think that Deve has a Tech Tip on installing a PCV system on a 216/235/261? http://devestechnet.com/Home/PCVInstall

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
