starter brace for a my bb 402 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello all!
Was hoping if any of you had a spare starter brace for my bb 402? It mounts on the back of the starter and runs to the motor block. I have looked all over out here in the wrecking yards. I found it in a truck part magizine but wanted to try you all first. Thanks, Billy

It's GM part number 3965588. Any dealership will have them for about 3 to 4 dollars each, brand new.

Good luck.

TX Firefighter,
Thank you very much for the PN. I did try the local dealer but evertime we looked in the computer we coudn't find anything. Now, thanks to you I will go back and try again and I will try at more than one dealer if need be.

Much appreciated
Billy

You are the man!!!!!!!! Thanks for everything. They went strait to the part and found it. Only thing was I had to go to another dealer to get it. I also got the Nuts and Bolts to to mount it. There is another gentleman here on the board looking for a small block starter brace. I'm going to refer him to you. I hope you don't mind. Thanks again! If there is anything I can Help you with in the future please let me know. Billy

Hi longhorn70GMC , can you please give me the Phone # to the dealer you got your brace at, so I can call them and order one? Thank you. Dave

Tx Firefighter · 03-03-2004, 10:37 AM

Dave, any dealer in the country should have one. They are very common.

When I get home tonight, I will look up the number for you. In the mean time, Tx firefighter is right about you should be able to get it from any Chevy/ GM dealer.
