if you know your existing starter is for the engine you have in the truck then take that with you so you can match up the starter drive as far as nmber of teeth and diameter. the rest will ikely work itself out as far as bolt patter etc. if you have a starter with the lirtle brace that bolts on to the far end of the starter and from there over to the engine block, try to re-use that if possible because it helps keep the starter rom flexing under load GM didn't put them there for decoration, lol.
