Rich,
Yea, it looks like a 216 but don't go by the bolts holding the valve cover on... you can modify a 235 quite easily to use the two bolts on top to hold the valve cover on. There are distinct features on a 216 like the pushrod cover on the right side. On a 216 it goes up to and around the spark plugs.
Your valve cover is an Offenhauser or Wayne?
Start gathering books and catalogs and make yourself familiar with your truck before you buy anything. You're about to embark on a long and rewarding journey fixing up your truck. Don't get discouraged... expect things to go wrong at every turn, but that's part of the "joy"... figuring out how to make things work.
Don't believe the crap in the parts catalogs, for the most part there is nothing that fits perfectly and if they say it "bolts on in a couple hours", or "comes with detailed instructions" you know you're in trouble. As much as they would like you to think otherwise, it still takes skill, creativity and determination to restore an AD truck.
