Congrats on your new (old) truck. It looks to be in really good shape. I appreciate that you want to restore it back to 100% original. I pondered that idea until I realized how much time, money and effort it would take. The 216 is probably the hardest part as parts are scarce and shops that know how to rebuild them are even scarcer.
I agree with “Papas52” that you can disguise that 235 to look like a 216 so only an expert could tell the difference.
One more discrepancy I see from stock is the hub caps are from an 1941-46 chevy truck.
Again welcome!
