Thanks Don Don, That starter you want can be found in *any* auto parts store. Probably even in Canada. Are you socialists up there so helpless or stupid that you can't go to a store and buy something without help from someone in the U S of A. |

I looked this up on Ebay Canada- This is the same make starter I sell, only it doesn't have the conversion bolts. The bolts can be fount at any parts store. They'd be for a GM with the 4.3 V-6 Basically they're 4 inch bolts, but they're different than regular stuff, they have knurling on the shoulders. Compared to the dollar exchange and the shipping, this is really a good deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GMC-Isuzu-Ca...item1e67fd7b2c |
