Hi Frank. Glad you like the site. I do not know about the 235, but I highly
recommend that if you have not done so already, to sign up for the oletrucks
mailing list. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on the list, and you
would be able to find an answer to just about any question you would have
about a 1941-59 Chevy or GMC truck.
Details for signing up are on the Chevytrucks website.
