What starter? 460/C6

Got my hands on a 460/C6 awhile back and finally plan to start on the truck it will be going into. The engine is missing the starter. I believe it to be a 70s era block but havent looked for a number yet. If anyone could point me in the right direction for which starter i need to be searching for it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I just use Auto Zones lifetime remans. Sure you got to go through a few to get a good one but I don't care when they are free, it's just 2 bolts, the wires nut and it's out

Some mid 1970's Lincoln/Mark IV and Thunderbird used a 460 starter that had the solenoid mounted on it. Otherwise, all 460's use the same starter: 1968/97.
