I believe that the 235 ended in 1960 but don't know for sure

Bill | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 | yeah, the 235 went to 62...the 230/292 went to 65 then they went to the 250/292. Chevy also lists the 194 in the 63 book, but I have never seen one installed in a truck. i believe most of those went to cars and maybe the corvair trucks. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 1,453 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 1,453 | 235 went thru 1962 and into 1963 in K series vehicles.

The 194 was primarily a Chevy 2/Nova, and later is saw use in the Chevelle/El Camino/G 10. The Corvair used a completely different engine, a horizontally opposed 6 cylinder, not shared with any other GM vehicle line.

I've got a '64 C-10 LWB Step Side that has what looks like the original tiny Radiator still in it. I always believed that it was possibly an original 153, or maybe a 194 truck. Bill

The 230 could come from the factory with the small radiator
