I have the truck listed above c6 camper special 2WD. I don’t think all have all the linkage because it can only go into reverse and work. I have pictures of my linkage to show.

The linkage looks okay. Can you have someone move the gear shift while you watch from under the truck to see if it moves through the complete range? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Thanks for the video. if the fluid is full the gear range is working okay it sounds like the transmission has giving up. here is a video to walk you through the steps of replacing it:
