Texaholic2000,
My first reply was based on what you were told by the seller. After reading truckernix's reply, I looked at the eBay picture. It looks like you have a full-pressure 235 (1954-1962 from a car/truck or 1953 from a Powerglide car). As truckernix said, the valve cover with 4 side-edge screws is on the newer 235's head.
Thus you might be disappointed the engine is '49-'50, as advertised, but you most likely have a higher power, beautiful appearance, high-oil-pressure 235.
Post the casting number (upper right/front of the starter) and the engine ID (pressed into the ledge on the block to the left/rear of where the distributor goes into the block). This will help confirm the year/size of engine.
truckerniz,
Didn't both the 216 and pre-1954 235 truck engines have the same style side (push rod) cover?
