The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop What rocker arms do I need for late 235?

I have a late 235 (61 or 62) for my '53 1 ton. I don't have rocker arms for it. I understand I need rocker arms from a 59-62 engine. Is this right? How can I tell a 59-62 engine from earlier ones? Casting numbers, or is there something easier? Thanks,
Josh
