Any suggestions for where to find parts that I might need? Classic parts just seems to have rebuilt starters. I prefer to rebuild my original starter. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,321 | If you have an Auto Electric shop close by, they can rebuild your starter a lot cheaper than buying one. Yes, they can get parts for our old starters (generators as well).
Type Auto Electric and your zip code into Google and see what pops up.

BTW on another note I read someone's post about their '49 3/4 ton with a 6 volt positive ground system. I have 6 volt negative ground system. Were both produced, or were some changed along the way? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 863 | With Denny on this one!!
