The easiest way without having to get too radical with the gas pedal is to find a grassy hill or a gravel road with a decent hill, and try to back up it. Usually it won't go in reverse. Then pull the lever back(with the hubs already locked in) and it should back right up the hill.

Nuetral and 4 low can be a problem to get into sometimes if they're not used very often. Will it go into 4 hi? When I got my first 84 it had been parked for a couple of years and I had to really play with it to get into lo. You may have to crawl underneath to manipulate the linkage by hand or spray it with a lubricant. If it'll go into 4 hi though the linkage shouldn't be a problem it may be binding up inside the T-case for some reason. I'd get it into 4 hi then bump the transsmision from drive to nuetral to reverse and play with it a little at idle to try and loosen up the T-case gears. If nothing works don't ber afraid to pull the T-case and look inside for problems, it's not hard to work on.
