My truck is a '54 3600 with the original 235 engine. I am wondering where you would recommend ordering one. I believe from looking at the truck's documentation the OEM part is Delco 1107108.
I appreciate the help because I start to get confused when I look on-line and see several choices (again, not very mechanically inclined).

They can bench test and tell you if and what your problem may be. They can also rebuild your starter (and generator if needed) for a lot less than buying a new one.

Is a restoration ever finished? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I would recommend having yours rebuilt locally. I don't know how far from Mineral Wells you are but I know a good shop there. Also Stovebolter Kennethw has a shop in Ellis County.

Again, thank you very much for the help.

I believe Napa will ship or deliver! if you are not too far.
