I went to town today. For the fun of it, I went to the Chevy dealer first. The long bolt is obsolete(none in stock).
I then went to the local starter rebuilder. He didn't have a new one in stock and had no old diesel mt27 starters to rob one from.
He is going to order a few. He buys these...

Direct drive and gear reduction starters...
Are you saying your friend had a 24volt starter? That is luck.
If you installed a 12v starter, you need to make some wiring changes or it will be dead soon(they don't last long on 24v). If it is 12v, you don't need the underdash relay at all, just a jumper from purple to purple w/white...
