I know that these 235s don't need a filter system, just looking to give a little extra help for this old girl.

Considering how little the filter actually does, and how nice modern oil is, and how few miles you'll put on that oil compared to the modern vehicles its designed for, I'd leave it plugged and just change the oil once a year unless you drive the truck often.
If I insisted on having a filter, it would be a trans-dapt and spin-on for me so replacements are simple and easy, plus it just looks cleaner with the filter down low v. bolted to the manifold. I assume if you cared about looking factory, you wouldn't even be asking and would already plan for an OEM filter.
