Was doing a little wheeling and the the truck just all the sudden wouldnt move. I didnt hear any loud noises or anything. The truck flexed really bad and then it wouldnt move. Its a 1979 Chevy SHort bed 4x4. 3 inch body lift and 35s. None of the driveshafts are spining and I tried messing with the linkage inside the truck and nothing changes. The truck will no stay in park either. Almost like the Transfer case is in Nuetral. a=f

Any fluids on the ground? Were you able to move the linkage at all? Try getting under the truck and seeing if the linkage is disconnected at the transfer case. Or, disconnect it yourself and try moving it to get it bac in mesh.

Does this have the factory column shifter, or an aftermarket shifter.  I've had blazers bodies flex so much it actually would throw the truck into reverse, it had a factory shifter though.  It happened twice to me then I went to aftermarket cable  operated shifter.

that could be it...  broken shift linkage from the steering column
