Smile truck won't start

Thanks everybody for all your suggestions, turns out it was the neg. ground strap on the new starter was broke and I didn't notice it. New starter too I took it out and replaced it. The first time after checking everything and replacing the starter again it wouldn't start but pushing the gear selector hard over too park , it started. It starts all the time now, I may have to make an adjustment at the neutral switch on trans. I started it about 10 times now and it seems to be ok.
The main problem to begin with was the old starter, I got 12.5 years out of that one and then a bad replacement starter.
