Three dead cylinders.... No wonder I can't get the poor old thing over 70 mph on the freeway!  Btw, who has a 235 head for sale? We might be needing one. Or should we just replace the valves? I'm guessing it's burnt valves, not three pistons with holes. Of course we won't know for sure until we pull the head.

FrankThanks Frank. I'm new to this old truck stuff. What's a fair price for a head?

Right now that one on ebay is selling for $10.00. Shipping may be more than the final price. Good luck.
