Reverse, no forward - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to get this truck moving. Sat for 12ish years when I got it. Didn't shift into any gear once I got the motor going. Trans fluid was low, put in about 4qts to get it right. Now it shifts into reverse very tightly, drops RPMs and moves backwards. When I shift past reverse, the shifter glides right through N, D, L2, and L1 with no resistance and back to normal idle RPMs. No forward movement.

Is there a chance this is just linkage inside the trans? Or the forward clutch pack burnt up?
