Starter issues
I have a 1994 Ford F150 5.0 and I don't think the starter is wired correctly. The wire from the + battery post is in the top bolt and where the small pigtail goes there is another wire from the + battery post. I do not see a ground of any kind attached to the starter at all. When I turn the key the engine will not turnover, it tries to slowly but then it just stops turning over.

No ground needed, any ground the starter needs it gets from it's mounting to the engine.
You have a later engine, and I think Ford did go to the chevy type starters with the solenoid on the starter. Do you have the regular Ford solenoid on the fender or firewall also?
