Some starters required a shim or spacer that may still be attached to the old starter. Or if the spacer was stuck to the engine and the new starter had its own, you may have installed two spacers instead of one by mistake. Another possibility is that the wiring connections on the starter solenoid are incorrect.

What is bad on a 1984 Ford truck starter when the starter spins and solenoid is fine and it grinds but not engaging?
It's probably the little gear called the "bendix". It will be easier to just replace the starter, but you CAN purchase the gear separately if you want. When you remove the starter, check the ring gear on the flywheel. If it's stripped you just got a much more expensive repair.
