Can you elaborate a bit more? It won't move unless it's not running? I assume it's an auto transmission correct? Will it not come out of park when you press the brake?

I had a similar experience recently at work, and it was the vehicle will not shift from park when the brake lights do not work. That vehicle was not a ford though, but the problem ended up being a braking circuit fuse blew cause a tail light bulb filament broke and was touching the second filament in the bulb.

It is most likely the brake switch down on the pedal (it is what keeps the shifter in park until you press the brake pedal).

To get it going temporarily you should be able to turn your key one click forward (without the truck started) and then move your shifter to neutral, then start the truck.
