Don't take the head off just to replace the gasket, head gasket failure on a 235 is very rare. There should be no special head bolt on a '60 unless a '55-57 head was used in the rebuild. You can reuse the old headbolts as long as they are in good shape and torque up ok, they are not torque to yield bolts.
