dead starter '58 1-1/2 ton six

Truck: 1958 1-1/2 ton
six-cylinder motor
manual transmission
mechanical floor start button
Bare bones truck.

Okay, I was running the truck up and down the driveway to exercise the old man and he quit. Thought it might be out of gas and put some in. Engaged starter and he wouldn't start. Kept kicking over however wouldn't run. Figured it was having trouble getting gas from the tank.
Yeah, should have used starter fluid, I suppose.
Anyway, the starter suddenly stopped turning the engine and now I get nothing when depressing the switch. I opened the hood and tried working the lever directly on the starter and nothing. No click, no buzz, no nothing. I have power to the terminal on the switch. Not sure how to directly jumper this one so no info on that.
Lights work.
signals work.
Horn is disconnected (finger works well).

The starter looks like this (except there is a thin wire terminal on the side facing the camera):


Not being familiar with this type, where is the solenoid?? IS there a Solenoid?

Any ideas?
