Need help with some things on a 49 Chevy

[The Big Green]

This thing was parked around 20 to 25 years ago for a bad starter, wheres the best place to get a starter, and is there a way to get rid of the starter with the button on it? How about the simplest wiring harness, a good comlete one for a guy that doesn't know much about rewiring a truck...lol. I haven't checked yet to see if the engine isn't locked up tight, but I will need the starter and harness. The clutch pedal is on the floor but everthing except starter worked when parked, could be knocked loose somewhere maybe, I hope so. Hooked up battery and nothing works, but the only 2 knobs I see are tight. What does the ones of you that have 350's do, they say the V-8's it the steering box, do you need rack and pinion steering to clear everything? I can really use a little help and a push in the right direction.
