ClassicsR4Me, at this point you need to pull the engine out and sent to the machine shop for a total rebuild.
My son's 46 2 ton with a 235 dropped a valve. I found a machine shop that would be able to convert the engine from babbitt bearings to inserts as part of the rebuild.
We found a 54 235 that we are having rebuilt instead because my son uses this truck for his business, has full pressure oil, more HP and torque, and already being an insert motor will make future repairs easier.
Though we are keeping the original engine this way the truck will still have the ability to be brought back to the original state someday.
