1964 F100 Starter Squawk

I have a 1964 F100, 223 I6. About every 2 or 3 starts the starter will squawk.

Truck does start when it works...rarely does it squawk more than two starts in a row(but it has happened).

I have taken it out and taken it to a shop. They said it ran fine, just lubricate and put it back in. I did see some metal shavings around the hole where the bendix/shaft sit in.

YouTube link: Starter installed...Squawk



YouTube link: Starter Bench Test



Any one else have/had this problem?

Any hints, links and a name for what is going on will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
rtc

I gave up mine made the same noise after two rebuilds. I went brand new and all is well. https://www.dbelectrical.com/product...hoCSh0QAvD_BwE

The clutch in the starter drive sounds shot. I'd replace the drive.
