Ok, I have worked on enough drum brakes to know a little something, sounds like your ebrake drum brake settup has come apart, Pull both rear rotors and inspect the ebrake setup inside the rotor. Ive seen a brake system come apart like this on a drum vehicle.

Would the truck not move on reverse because mine does it will not move while on drive

Try shifting into first gear and pulling out then stop and shift into 2nd and pull out and see if there is a difference.

If i select gears on the shifter it still does the same

Better have a mechanic check it out. Where are you located?

Drum brakes can fail in ways that restrict forward movement but not reverse movement. I think it's a good suggestion to pull the rear brake rotors to check it out. Could also be a stuck caliper, but I would expect that to drag in both forward and reverse.

The 505 - say hello to Garduños for me!

I am not sure this is your problem but it is something to check. I have had an issue where either my caliper seized or my brake line degraded on the inside creating a suction holding the caliper shut. This happened to the front passenger wheel. I only noticed it when my vehicle violently jerked st hwy speeds. I busted out my laser thermometer and found the center of the wheel to be 600 degrees.

anyways, drive it a little and check temps to see if one wheel/rotor is significantly hotter than the other.

second thing to check, see if any caliper pins or bolts have slipped or something has broken on the caliper mounting. I have had this happen on an older mustang. Reverse worked fine but driver fought me, just happened to be the way the caliper rotated in relation to the direction the wheel spun.

I hope its its something simple like that what are the symptoms of a failing transmission or does it just give out
