Between my '51 and my '51 L-112's, I have two different starters. One has a GM-style solenoid on it [I suspect that was the one off the BD-264 in the '52]. It took me almost a week to find that solenoid with the clevis on the "business end." I hope your luck is better.
When the truck was converted to 12V years ago, someone used a Ford-style solenoid on the fenderwell. To make it compatible with the GM solenoid, I had to install a shunt in order to make the GM solenoid work. So now I have the functional equivalent of the "hot-start kit" they sell for GM products with headers.
