A 1987 will not have a shift solenoid. It is not an electronic transmission. Since you say it is an overdrive trans it must be an AOD as that was Ford's only overdrive trans in 1987.

The problem is internal to the trans.

You really need someone to look at it and drive it to see what the problem is. Without having the truck here all I can do is guess.

My guess is that either the overdrive servo clip failed, or the overdrive band has failed. Either one will cause your problem.
