I had a pickup truck like that. You need to be really careful
when the linkages get worn out. Otherwise it could get stuck in either
(1st & reverse) or (2nd & 3rd). Then you needed to use a big screwdriver
to 'uncross' the linkage which would get jammed much in the manner of
a manual typewriter with 'crossed' typeface rods.

Oh, and always keep a spare ballast in the glovebox beside the big
screwdriver. Every year or so it would need a new one to start.

I was briefly able to drive it with the worn engine, but it had limited
power, and started knocking shortly there-after.  It did get stuck
between first and reverse once.  The former owner warned me about the
ballast, and there is a new ballast in the trunk just in case, thanks.
