Angry abs e04d problems help! OD Flashing

i got my hands on a 92 ford f250 7.3 idi , Eo4d transmission,

ok the truck was sitting on a farm since 2013 not running dead as a door nail i got it fired up runs amazing for 304k miles! only problem i need help with. yes some wires have been cut i have been told.(no clue were)
radio doorlocks ac passanger window dont work, blinkers dont work for some reason now they did at first, hassards work
anyway the abs light is on i replaced the wheel speed sensor on the rear diff still comes on but now with the new one theres a click and the light shuts off then comes on after the truck moves a few feet. old one didnt kick or anything
all fuses are good for everything no joke not a one blown
the speedometer will not move one bit i drove it for a bit with the old one and it had a hard shift (i was towed today i had the truck in N key on with the new sensor but still didnt move)
truck has brand new battery
old vss overdrive would flash (unknown with new one)

i need ideas asap! PLEASEE! also i bet noone can guess how much i got it for! XD

Sounds like you got your work cut out for you, but it'll be worth it when she's up and running right.
I suspect all your problems stem from your truck missing the vehicle speed sensor (vss) signal. It's common on older trucks and usually easy to diagnose and fix, but you might have a harder time since someone hacked up your wiring. The VSS sends a speed signal to the speedometer, cruise control servo, transmission control module, and the ABS module.
First thing to do is to check for codes using a simple test light and a paper clip. You can do find write ups about that by searching the forum. The codes will lead you to what to check.
The second thing to do is see if your test connector is still connected to the VSS. The test connect or a round 2-pin connector on the inner fender well next to the brake master cylinder. Pop off the dust cap and use a multimeter to check continuity. You should have 700-1400 ohm. If you do, then the wiring problem is behind your dash, and not under your truck. The VSS wires are red/pink and light green/black. Once you find and repair those wires, things should be fix and the flashing light will go away.
