I hope I am posting in the correct area, But here is my question.

Hi,

On a 1500 series, 4WD, with a 360 V8. There are two bolts that hold the starter on. (One stud, one bolt). Is there another bolt near the upper bolt for the starter? The reason why I ask, is my Son in Law and is friend where trying to change the starter. And they had problems with loosing the upper bolt. But they claimed the already pulled a bolt out.

I was able to help him reinstall the starter, but I cannot see where that other bolt went. It is about 2" long and has a 5/8" hex head on it.
Any ideas where they might have pull that bolt from?

 

Is there a bell housing bolt near the top bolt of the starter?

 

Anyone know if there is another bolt in the area that the starter bolt is? Bellhouseing bolt?

 

My diagram shows only the stud/nut near the bottom and the bolt near the top:

Is it possible the extra bolt is a tranny bolt?

 

Thank you.

That is whatI am trying to find out. Where they pulled that bolt from. It is about 2" long and has a 5/8" hex head on it. I came in to the project when they all ready had this bolt out

Looking at the picture,I do not see a bolt in that area, But they may not have include that in the picture.

 

Yep, coming in near the end of a project is always fun, and having parts left over makes it challenging!

 

Speaking of the devil, just about this time last year. Look at this picture I took while doing my starter removal.

I don't know what the that bolt is actually used for, probably like you guessed, the trans or something.

 

Thank you,

That is where they must have pulled it out from.
