Won't go in reverse

As I stated in the HELLO page of the forum, I have a 1977 F250 XLT Auto with a 460 CID engine. It drives beautiful except I will NOT go into reverse. When you put it in "R", you feel it engage, then slowly creep forward. If I remember from Auto class, the Reverse drum and the 1st gear drum are the same. Am I looking at a bad or slipping Drum Band?

On the C-4 tranny, you can adjust that, but I think this is a C-6 transmission.

Any suggestions?

Yes, it has fluid before that is asked.

Yes, the first and reverse band is the same. Is the 1st working?

This is probably a good indicator the tranny needs to be rebuilt.
