I agree with Glenn, the picture in Skippy's album looks like a 216, or pre-50 235. A 53 4400 standard motor is a 216 with the 235 option. By 53 the 235 did have the short push rod/ lifter cover. I also agree that the 58/59 pickup motor is pretty well gone. That Fleetside bed definitely looks savable. Good luck, Skip. smile
