1993 6.5 broken cracked starter bolt hole
Hello everyone I'm new to this form I'm 21 and enjoy working on older trucks, and is a truck collector myself of a few different breeds of classics, I'm dealing with a cracked starter bolt hole and I'm wondering what my options are if I can have it welded in the truck or if there's something I can do to make it solid again, I really need this truck operational ASAP as I don't want to be driving my old square body's around in the salt, it's my 3rd diesel I've owned, anyways going forward I purchased this truck a week ago and before I got it home the darn starter started grinding and found the rear brace was just dangling from the block as someone in the past was too lazy in to re connect it, it's a nice truck clean interior engine has 288k runs amazing starts amazing from what I've noticed so far. was owned by a 90 year old man before me and had some local traveling mechanic work on it from what I heard. I really don't want to pull the engine if I don't have to, I'm very mechanically inclined and can do it but I'm on a time crunch of needing it, it's a 1993 GMC 3500 dually manual transmission. I thought of getting a starter relocation kit for it but don't know if it's worth it for the miles it has and money is tight right now
