Due to the limited space in the cab I'm going to lose the foot start and put an ignition swith on the dash. What 235 starter would be compatible with the flywheel on the 58 261 and also have an electrical solenoid?

What year flywheel will you be using?
Do you have a 6v or 12v electrical system in your 31?

The 31 is 12v. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Probably any 12v 55-63 starter with solenoid that was used on a 6-cylinder manual transmission truck. 60-63 solenoid starters for 235/261 truck engines with manual transmissions should work fine.
Wait to hear from someone who has first-hand knowledge of other 55-63 12v solenoid starters will work with the 12v manual transmission flywheel.
