It had the short side cover. When did Chevy and GMC go the short side cover and on which engines? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | 1950 Power Glide 235 for pass, also 1950 235 used in the big trucks.

I also don't think any OHV GMC had a tall side cover except the Canadian 224, which was really a bored-out 216. All 1950 and later 235's had a short cover.
