Maybe the wrong place for this, if so please move or let me know and I'll delete and repost. Thanks.
To make a long story short, a buddy inherited a 1972 loadstar from his grandfather, and we decided to try to get the old thing running and driving. It's been sitting since the late '90s, in an old tobacco barn.
It's a 345, with what we believe to be a T-35 or 36 transmission.
We got it running after sourcing some new ignition parts and a fuel pump, but we found out some one cannibalized the transmission cap years ago. We were able to find one, but now the trans doesn't shift into first or reverse. Just feels like nothing is there. It used to drive, and the trans itself never left the truck. Second through fifth seem to work fine. Anyone have any idea from the pics if I'm missing something?
