If the vacuum line to the modulator comes unhooked (usually right near the
modulator, due to the hose swelling from the ATF leaking from the cooling
lines right near it), it will stay in first gear. It will also do this if
the governor freezes up (AMHIK). If it does move in L, S or D, I suspect
that the transmission's clutches and seals are fine and that the problem
lies with something that is cheap and easy to fix.

For $800 with a good body, *I* would buy it! Snap it up right-quick; I bet
you'll have a fully-functioning truck with nothing more than hooking up a
new vacuum line.
