There was no factory option "split manifold" or dual exhaust option for a truck 216/235/261. My bet is that the only GM 235 dual-exhaust manifold was available on 53-55 Corvette 235 engines. Maybe someone knows the Corvette manifold's casting code. However, it was not uncommon for shops/services to split a manifold and graft-on another down-pipe and make a dual-exhaust manifold.
