Coil mounted on what, the starter?

What year and size/model truck? Might you have an electric solenoid starter, and you are referring to the solenoid? Can you post a link to a picture?

The engine is a '60 235. It is a solenoid starter. Here's the pic:

I am just learning about all thing mechanical, from engines on up, so this is all new to me. So what's the different between a coil and a solenoid?
