1985 Ford Cargo - Reverse problem

Hello,
Im trying to get an old 1985 cargo running but im having problems with reverse. The rest of the transmission seems fine, and when you try to select reverse the warning noise sounds but it just wont bite.
Does anyone know where i might get a manual for this truck, or perhaps a few things to try?
Ty in advance.

I would be looking for a new, used or rebuilt tranny. Or get yours rebuilt. Not much else you can do. Pull the dipstick on the tranny and see what the fluid looks like.
