Thanks for any help.

Early 235 had the tall side cover. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Post the block casting number (and head casting number) and maybe someone can identify them. As 31,32,33 stated above, through 1949 the early 235 had a tall side cover (over the spark plugs).

I think they used 235's. The early ones had the tall side cover. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 3 | Thanks, I just read some specs on the army trucks and these did all come with 235s | | |
