Or something in the shift linkage broke or slipped. Or the linkage wasn't installed installed with the shift shaft fully in the proper gear, so now it has slipped into the wrong gear.

Hmm.. I'm not sure how he fixed it but he took a rod out from under and realigned?  We fixed the front steering shock which wasn't too bad to fix and it seems to have handled the shaking violently situation.  He pointed and instructed me how to change every spark plug and wire today as well.  Never done that before, looks easier not being under the hood lol.  Next I need cap, rotor, brakes he says

If you have ANY front end shaking you have worn components that need to be looked at ASAP. The steering shock will hide this shaking but does not fix it.

I know it isn't doing this anymore.  The truck is very worn, you can see through the floor and the door bottoms are rusted up.  He says if I am going to keep it, I need to find a donor truck for a new can and various parts.  The truck was only used as a plow truck... Hence the name rusty.  Everything, entirely rusty lol.  For what little driving I do with it and wood fetching, I can baby it... But I don't think it's a restoration project that's for sure

Took rusty out for a drive today about 40mi out of the area... What a difference!  When I was taking out the spark plugs he said two were shot and probably not firing right... And when I disconnected these other two they ripped in half... Anyhow, it's running way better!  New front brakes on the way this week and led lights for the dash.  I need a new ram soon he says, tomorrow we are getting dumped on with snow!  It's about time, only I would get a plow truck and we get a light winter
