I have a 1977 F-100 that I parked about 3 months ago. I went to get my truck, fired it right up and dropped into drive and it would not move. The transmission fluid and filter was changed less than 1 year ago. I have plenty of fluid, and it drove perfectly before what could be wrong?

Hi there, this may be a sticky solenoid or shift valve, try running the engine and selecting each gear back and forward holding the shifter in each position for a few sec, this will get fluid moving around the valve body and it may start to free any sticky component up, also get a scan done to check for any unresolved fault codes, start here.
