May have found my issue.

Since I bought this short bed it only had first and reverse. I knew about it when I went to look at it so not a big deal. Once I started looking for a transmission for it then it became a bit of an issue since the 700r4 is behind a diesel and they are harder to come by.

Well I got to thinking today about a 350 turbo that I had years ago that had a similar problem. It would not shift out of second into drive. The one I have now won't do the 1-2 shift. The 350 trans ended up being a bad governor gear. So I pulled the cover off and pulled out the governor.
