A mechanic knows the difference between cranking/turning over and starting
you say that the flywheel is not turning so obviously it will not start
now you have to tell us if the starter pinion is engaging in the flywheel teeth but the starter is not cranking the engine --indicates that the engine is seized up
now it it is an automatic , there is a possibility that the flex plate ( automatics do not have flywheels )) is broken and the teeth are no longer in a position to mesh with the pinion gear

Given the steps you have taken, only one of two things this can be is a resistive connection between the battery and the starter solenoid terminal. Or the battery itself has a bad internal connection. Bear in mind: you cannot crank the engine through the average set of jumper cables unless the battery in the dead vehicle will hold and deliver a good charge. Jumper cables are not really intended to start the car, they are for boosting the good, but low battery in the car being jumped.

Did it originally have shims as far as you know? They had them on the older vehicles for that reason.Definetly try it out.

it sounds like you have the wrong starter or flywheel on the truck. aif the transmission has ever been changed, it may have been changed with the wrong size. the bolts line up fine to fit the engine, but the flywheel is too small or the tooth size is off

Check all your starter wires. Make sure they are all tight. Then If you can see the two posts on the starter solenoid (not the starter) jump them with a screwdriver. If starter engages it could be an ignition swich.

It may be the starter dive teeth are worn from hitting the flywheel. Replace the starter drive or easier yet just install a rebuilt starter. If there were shims in the old one replace the shims in the proper location or you may need to either leave them out or add more to be sure the starter drive is properly engaging the flywheel.
