I'd say the tranny's bad but take it to a good shop and see what they say , if you want .

It's possible the rear drum brakes are binding up only in drive , or maybe the front calipers , but I doubt it . See if it'll roll in neutral .

A good transmission shop is your best bet here. Could be a bad transmission but it could also be a gear selector switch or control module. A transmission shop can do stand alone tests and then tell want is going on.

The truck's 24 years old and is $2,000. You got your moneys worth out of it.
