If you end up with a reduction drive starter. You will need the support bracket that goes with the reduction starter. They are not the same.
The HMMWV starters are also 24 volts and bolt to the same engine.
Here is a video about the different starters, starter bolts and support brackets:
I had a very similar issue when I first got my Gasser running 18 years ago. Here is a thread about it:

My unloaded valve springs were broken.
Can you hear the governor cycle?
You have the newer version air regulator/governor...
Are you asking about the metal pipe or flexible hose?
Several venders make 1984 K5 pre shaped pipe.
Same with the flexible caliper hose. I put the Off Road Design stainless steel grades brake hoses on one of my trucks and have had no leaks, rips and a firm pedal for 8 years now.
Sharecropper posted while I was writing and I didn’t see it until mine posted. I totally agree with him. My turbo engine is a GEP block I took apart and built myself. But, I still stick to my self imposed limits and don’t worry about how fast anyone else is going.

One of my trucks does the same thing, sometimes. I am convinced it is my blinker box/relay. Here is a video about how to test the flasher box:
I live down a dirt road and have learned with that truck to just turn the blinker on when I start the engine. If it works, then it will probably work...
That low rating is all because of the very light duty Pintle hitch mounting. If you are trying to be legal towing more weight then a frame mounted receiver hitch and the GM tow rating can be presented.
Might as well do new belts and hoses while you have it all apart. I just did this with the 6.2 in my M715. Here is a video with the part numbers in the description:
Your transmission shift linkage needs to be adjusted is how I read what you have written.
Under the driver side of the truck the all rod linkage is very visible. Loosen the adjuster, put the shift lever in the cab all the way into park, turn the linkage on the side of the transmission all the...
