Where is the starter on a 1986 Chevy truck?

On a 1986 Chevy truck, the starter is typically located on the passenger side of the engine, near the bellhousing (where the engine connects to the transmission). However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the engine size (e.g., small block V6 or V8, or a big block V8). You'll need to look closely at the engine to find it. It's a relatively large, cylindrical component with heavy-duty wires connected to it.
