Valve cover.......
..... would be nice to retro fit a 216 valve cover and a new thick corkgasket.....
Kits containing the necessary longbolts and acorn nuts a readily available....
From my memory....some 1954 and only 54 trucks valve cover had slits cut on the top for air intake for the PCV or draft tube.... and will allow dust/dirt to enter the engine. They can be brazed shut from the inside but then you will need to install a small 216 oil bath air intake filter on the valve cover as per a CMP 216 valve cover..... or the engine crank case will develop a vacuum.
