C6 shifting problems

I just bought a 1984 F-250 heavy duty with a 351 windsor and the C6 transmission. the truck has 160,000 miles on it and i got it for the drivetrain. the truck runs fine but when i put it in drive it either doesn't go any where or moves really slow. I drove it about 40 miles two days ago and it was fine. can any body give some info?

check the trans fluid level. if it is low, it will do that.

auto trans should always be checked warm for proper fluid level also.
