Brenm1,
Make sure you replace the broken starter bolt with the correct replacement starter bolt not a standard bolt. Also, be sure that you install a rear starter support bracket if it is missing. These are two things that often cause the starter bolts to break. It sounds like you got a nice truck at a great price. It is 101 in Az right now and you just talked me into taking a break with Miller Light too.
Good luck
John
