Will a 3/4 ton starter work on a big truck?

How big a truck. If you are talking 2 ton or so, yes it is the same.

I bought a motor with transmission that was out of a grain truck. It had a starter with it. The starter has a cylianoid on it. The starter works just fine but wont turn the motor over.

What year and size of "big truck" 47-55?

54/55 (at least) 2-ton GMC COEs came with a solenoid-starter.

Chevrolet double-duty (forward-control - step-van) trucks and trucks equipped with automatic transmissions had starters with solenoids (as did 49-54 cars).

Are you sure you are matching 6volt to 6 volt. A 12 volt has a different tooth count and will not turn the engine.
