My vehicle listed above will not go into reverse, but it runs in drive just no reverse. I'm confused and could really use some help.

Have you checked to see if the fluid is burnt? If so the reverse clutches/band is burnt up and the transmission needs to be rebuilt.

This guide can help:

If the transmission has been rebuilt, I would install rebuilt valve body that has all of the shift solenoids. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
