Most likely, the starter has failed, o rthe brushes are bad. Let me explain...
There's 2 windings in the solenoid.
One end of each is connected to the "S" terminal.
The other end of one winding is connected to the metal frame of the solenoid. This is the "hold" winding.
The opposite end of the other (HEAVY) winding is connected to the terminal that you identify as "C", and grounds through the starter windings.
This winding draws lots of current/makes lots of magnetism and "pulls in" the solenoid. At that point, when the contacts close in the solenoid and send battery power to the starter, it is no longer effective, and doesn"t need to be, as the current through the "hold" coil is adequate to keep the solenoid "pulled in".
To test your repaired "starter assembly", with a good pair of booster cables, ground the starter frame with the (-) cable, attach the (+) clamp to the terminal you have chosen to call "B", then jumper battery + to "S" and enjoy the starter operating.
If it goes NOT operate, likely the brushes are worn out (or there"s some other failure) that interrupts the path to ground of the "pull in" winding.
THIS diagram is for another brand, but is set up EXACTLY the same as your Chevy van"s starter.

All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
