Starter's 24V on CUCVs. Also, for those who may come across a pile of
starters not knowing whether they're 24V or 12V, look on the top of the
solenoid and you'll see a "24V" if it's the 24V type.
I've been told by a few people that the motor itself is common to both, and
it's only the solenoid that's different. Maybe on some, but when I've put
it to the test by changing the solenoid to 12V and installing it in a 12V
Chev 6.2 Crew truck - it wound too slowly.
