One of the AD trucks I've owned had the original tool kit (was sort of a plastic coated heavy canvas that reminded me of the old VW tool bags but larger). No crank was in there. I asked at the parts dept of one of Dallas first Chevy dealers and the guy told me the cranks were only provided up until 1950 or 1951 and he wasn't certain they were ever provided with the 235 engine. I mentioned my 235 had the crank provision on the harmonic balancer and he said somebody probably swapped the original for the 216 balancer when it fell off or something.
