Unhappy 1976 Ford F150 Starts, but will not move...

I was driving up a hill at about 35mph in first gear.... It's an automatic.... And right when I went around a corner, the hub blew off. Automatic hubs by the way. So I only found the hub and spring. Come to find out I'm missing the gear with the million little teeth on. So I decide to convert them to manual hubs. Then replaced the rotor which also has the hub assembly combined with it. Put new brake pads on and calipers. Put everything back together. Bleed the brakes and what not. Truck still doesn't move. Starts fine. When its in DRIVE, it rolls, when its in REVERSE, it rolls. EVEN in PARK, it rolls. Not sure what the heck happened.... Don't want to take it anywhere because I just got it back from a transmission shop. And that was a lot! They said the took out the Kick Down Rod too. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Its a FULL time 4WD. I have 4LOW, N and 4HIGH. That's it. It's a 390 with a C6 in it. HELP ME! Is it the transfer case? Transmission? Linkage? I need help!!!!!

Put it on jackstands and go underneath and put it in drive, with the parking brake on.

Alright, today, I put it in REVERSE and DRIVE, back in forth a ton of times with the RPMs up. It makes the click sound like the old fords do. So I can tell that the thing wants to go from REVERSE to DRIVE. Still the back shaft doesn't seem to move. The front one spins like a mother though.
