Yes. There is no park lock interlock system on these CUCV trucks. Unless you have steering column issues. You should be able to start it and shift it to any gear.
Was going to say the same as CUCVRUS, the interlock steering wheels came out much later, around '94 or so, so the only CUCV that may have that would be the CUCV II's. Sounds like you may have a linkage or column issue.
With extreme safety, disconnect the linkage pin from the column on the engine side , right under the master cylinder, see if the column will shift when that is disconnected. That is the halfway point, so if the column still does not shift, then your issue is in the column, lockplate and so on. If it does shift, then your issue is with the transmission linkage.
I say extreme safety, because you may have to look under the truck to see what's going on with the linkage and may have to manually shift it. Someone will have to be in the truck that you trust so that the truck doesn't run you over.
Everything else I assume works? the key turns smoothly and so on?
