I have the same problem right now with my 74 F100 390. I have swapped solenoids and this has not fixed the problem. I talked with the owner of the local Napa store and from what he is telling me if the starter sticks it's most likely a problem with the ignition switch or the wiring, and not the solenoid. I am actually cleaning up my spare ignition switch as I write this to install into my truck this afternoon to try to fix this problem.

Good luck and let me know what you find out.

Test/charge the battery - low voltage will cause sticking.
