Mr Hansen,
Allow me to help you rationalize your way into a 235 —-
Imagine this is 1955. You bought your truck new in ’51 , and now- after just 4 years of service the darned engine is knocking. You go to see your trusted friend who runs the local Chevrolet dealership, a guy you knew since you were kids. “Dang it Dan” , he says, “that’s a shame!
Listen - instead of tearing down that 216 , what do you say we just replace it with the newer 235? It’ll have more pep , and it’s got better bearings! I’ll give you a great price since you’re a life long customer.” “Well” , you say , “ that sure makes sense to me , when you put it like that.”
Dial the clock ahead to 2024. Someone lifts the hood on that ‘51 and sees a 235 that looks like it’s been in that bay for 70 years …. The person under the hood says “Looks like someone made a good call way back when.”
The end.
