Flathead Truck Starter Plate

Does anyone have a correct 49' flathead truck starter plate that they would like to sell.

John,

I am assuming you're looking for the end plate of the start correct? According to my books, the plates are all the same for 6 & 8s for '48-55.

Bob, I sent you an email about this part yesterday. It's a V8 engine and its the plate the starter bolts to, it also bolts to the bellhousing.

There are a number of Bellhousings and starterplates used between 48 & 54. Here is a link to help ientify them.

John,

I was thinking you needed the end plate of the starter. I don't have the part you're looking for, I do have the part for a flat six but they're completely different.

Here's the drawing from my parts book, hopefully this will help in some way:

Bob, great picture. Yes, thats the starter mounting plate. I need that. My truck also does not have part #6410, the dust seal. Dont think it ever came with one by looking up in that area. I have read that all trucks had them. Anyone out there recall having one?
