starter/flexplate problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My buddy bought a 72 truck cause the previous owner couldn't start it.(he bought it without hearing it run) The starter barely and i mean BARElY touches the flywheel. It makes that terrible grinding sound. We went to all the auto parts stores and discovered it's probably NOT the starter.
The only thing we could figure is the flywheel is on backwards. It's a NOT original 305 in it with a 350 tranny.
here's the question and a pic. IS THE FLYWHEEL ON BACKWARDS?
