I have a 1952 chevy half ton pickup that runs like a top. However, i have recently encountered a problem when starting the truck. It usually starts on first crank, but i began to have a really loud grinding noise when i depressed the foot starter. I swapped out the starter and i am still haveing the grinding sound about half the time. When it does engauge it starts just fine, but about half the time it grinds like you cannot believe. I have been told to try starter shims? Anyone have any experience with these and if so how many did you use?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. You guys are life savers...love this site.
