Oil filters were optional on these trucks, not standard, so it is quite likely that yours never had one. You can use a filter off of any year 216 or 235 if you want the stock manifold mount. Once in a while new ones turn up on ebay, but don't worry if all you can find is a used one, because they can't wear out. If you don't care about stock appearance, you can use any modern remote mount filter and gain the advantage of a spin-on element.
