starting issues

94 f150 302v8. parked the truck last night , and everything was fine.go to start it this morning,the battery gauge was reading low and the truck wouldn't
start, not even the clicking noise from the starter. got home today and tried jumpstarting it, this didn't work, so i tried recarging the batter, still didn't work.put in a new battery and that didn't work. checked the fuses, and the connection to the starter, and cleaned all the connections on the cables etc.
any ideas on getting my truck running would be great.

-i am getting full power in te cab, lights, stereo etc.

I would check the starter solinoid relay, its the black box by the battery that the hot from your battery runs to.

got the truck running and found that the smoke was coming from the starter. replaced the starter, and still have the problem. then i hought it might be the selenoid, so i tried another now one, and it still dosen't work.As far as I can tell , the bendix is hooking up with the fly wheel, but it isn't coming back out.
Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

You should try shims on the starter first, then let us know if it worked.
