Default Truck Starter

I read on here that we can replace our stock starter with a truck stater? Does anyone know what starter to get? Or should I got to Auto Zone or Kragen and tell em I need a starter for a certain truck?

You will need to replace the short mounting bolt with a long mounting bolt.
