Chuck, make sure you go through the gears before you add fluid (if you havent already). I bought a similar turbo 400 pan from Jegs. After I installed mine and filled it I couldn't get it to shift. The inside of pan wasn't machined enough so the selector was hitting it. I had to drain the fluid and pull the pan and file the inside area some more than it worked fine.
Hopefully you don't have this issue.

Your truck is coming along great!
