I'm familiar with the 216 and 235 engines, not sure about the GMC trucks, but bottom line was the oil filters were optional. They mounted on the intake manifold. Canister type filters. Open the top of the can, and pull the filter element out to replace.

So you may not have a filter.

On the GMC engine, the by-pass oil filter canister is usually mounted on the distributor side of the engine, forward of the distributor.
