   I have never read of any that would interchange. The ring gear and tooth count on the bendix gear would be the first problem. The AOK boys might have an alternative. Tim Kingsbury would have some good information. 12volts with a 6 volt starter seems to be what gets used. Did you ever get in touch with Freewheeling Tony Smith@ Montana Dodge Boys? You should post some of your trials. We would all be be very interested.

Someone in my area has a larger flatbed dodge with a flathead. He told me he used a started from an older volvo and it worked. Don't know what year and didn't see it . He lives near a junkyard and tried many options.

   I was looking in Dodge power wagon sites for an 11 tooth pinion. Anyway, I found a high torque starter. QualityPowerAuto.com, phone 909-794-1600, the part number that I would use is 122-001. They have 6 different models for older Chrysler and Dodge. Rick D.
