Tim,
You had two different Chevy 235 starters that were 12 volt. One for the cars and one for the trucks. Mounting patterns and starter drive dimensions on both starter were the same but the truck starter had the long lever and small switch. The car starter is like the one in the picture above with the elect. solenoid on it. They were not designed to be interchangeable but if a person wanted to take the car starter and install it on a 235 truck motor and wire it up for elect. start he could. There would be no need or desire to install the truck starter on anything other than the truck motor. I think I answered your question..if not let me know.
Ken
