<<< CAUTION! >>>
I purchased a '53 starter and solenoid from Chevs of the 40's for $166. What they shipped was missing the plunger and link to make it function. The starter wouldn't fit into the Chevrolet bell housing. (I tested it on several 37 - 54 bell housings.)
When looking for parts, a local vendor pointed out that the starter fit a GMC. I explained this to Chevs of the 40's. They refused to correct their error. When I ruturned for refund, I was charged shipping both ways, a core charge, and a restocking fee. They told me I should have made it fit.
I would NOT recommend them.

I really dislike Chev's of 40s arrogance. I will never deal with them if there is an alternative.

I find Chev's of the 40's very helpful. They have gone out of their way to fill my many requests. There have been times when there has been a shortage or wrong part and they have stood behind their orders 100%. The Filling Station has been very helpful also.
