The Ford Barn

Been driving my OCPU a lot and am really enjoying it. Took my 90 year old father in law for his first ride, that he was eagerly waiting for all the time I was building the truck. We had a nice drive, and he commented on how tight the truck was. After returning to the house I decided to go back out for gas. Hit the starter, and absolutely nothing, not even a sound. The starter was fine when we left the first time. I have eliminated the battery and the starter switch. Lights are bright horn is loud. Never had a starter just tottaly fail.

It as if something opened internally in the starter. I haven't pulled the starter yet, but will be. Any guesses as to what I will find?
