Have you checked for codes yet? They should probably tell you something. If there's no codes it probably points more toward a rebuild. Do you know if it's a 4R70W (302 engine only) or an E4OD?
Kinda funny, but I worked on a GM pickup once with only third gear and it ended up being a wire rubbed through blowing the trans fuse. But I don't think Ford has a separate fuse; I think they get their power through the PCM relay.

It sounds like the same problem I had in my '94. Mine was the later '94 with an AODE tranny. When I found out the repair bill ANYWHERE in town was going to be $1500 to rebuild, I opted to swap everything out. I wouldn't advise taking the route I took but at the same time, I still have a hard time with thinking $1500 was a reasonable price to rebuild an automatic tranny. Are you POSITIVE you have a 351? It took a lot of searching to figure out what the deal was on mine but basically, I had a intake that said 5.0 but I had a 5.7's firing order. The last I heard was that I had the 1995 5.0 HO engine because of the November '94 build date my truck had. Good luck!

he did not charge me and helped me and also told me what to get next for my abs problem so and the connector cost me $50 not one in the 5 junk yards i looked at
but the trans is shifting good and the only thing i hate about the truck is the fuel mileage 12 mpg i sold my other truck that was getting 38 mpg big jump
will take sum time to adjust to that
thanks for the help
