GEARHEAD IS RIGHT, 235'S CAME OUT IN BIGGER TRUCKS AND WERE INTRODUCE IN THE 41 1 1/2 ton and bigger trucks. They were identical to a 216 including the long sideplate. In the early days this was a very popular swap for 216's if you could find one. They didn't compare to a GMC but they were simpler and cheaper to swap plus more cubes than the 216. Worked real good in 33-38 coupes on jalopy tracks where everything was to be completely stock. I never would have done it but I heard the big boys talk about it! 1 OL REDNECK
