‘51 Dodge pickup stomp starter

[Bobacuda]

The ‘51 Dodge farm truck I got back had its truck engine replaced with a car engine with  a push button starter. The old starter was discarded. As I rebuild the truck (now with a ‘51 truck engine), I want to go back to an original stomp starter. I have the correct flywheel. 
 

I looked at a starter for a ‘49, and it has a different activation “arm” on the starter than my ‘53.  Before I head to the only old car graveyard in this part of the world, what year models have the starter I need?

 

A photo of a ‘51 stomp starter where I can see the arm would be great. Thanks in advance.

I took a look in my parts manual and it appears that the same starter P/N is used for all trucks through the H series. I haven't been able to figure out what the --- --- is referencing, but even though they break things down by serial number breaks, and what-not, they all end up showing the same part number. So, it shouldn't matter which year you get one from, ('48-'53) it should work for you. 

 

I know you are asking for '51 specific starters, but based on this Parts Manual data, I'll share a few pics I have of the starter in my '50 B2C. These photos weren't specifically targeting the starter when I took them, but I believe they'll show you how the starter yolk/arm on my truck looks, compared to what you may have. I couldn't find any pics in my photo library of the starter after installing the cab, to show the alignment of the starter to the stomp rod. If you want/need that I can go out to the garage this evening and get some for you.

Thanks. This gives me what I need.

@Merle Coggins from what I can tell, there were 2 starters for B-1s divided by engine #, and 2 starters for B-2s divided by engine #...all of those starters have been superceded by the starter listed as those previous starter assemblies were no longer available when that parts manual was printed in 1954.  Individual parts, such as the different yokes, were still available, listed on the next page...whether they were on eternal backorder or also superceded is academic I reckon.

I suspected the --- --- referenced a previous P/N that was superseded to the 'current' P/N, but I don't have an earlier version of the parts manual to reference the older numbers.
