Jerry offered to come help me on a 235 a couple yrs back and I should have taken him up on it.

"gmc 248 clutch housing bellhousing flywheel cover"
Or, post a Parts Wanted ad in the Swap Meet.
Are you referring to the bottom cover, and, or the front side-cover? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 592 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 592 | It is the same cover as the Chevy 235 or 261, both the front and the back piece. You'll get more hits if you search for the Chevy item.
