The trans has to be in neutral.
Sometimes you have to roll it around slowly. Put it in gear (forward or reverse), get a very small amount of speed, throw it in N, then try to shift while rolling.

Take a look at the linkage and make sure its not binding / dirty. If you have the removable hump cover or removable boot might help to take that off and be able to look at it from above.

My guess is the linkage rods are dirty/rusted. Some PB Blaster and a wire brush should fix you up.

yeah pressure wash your truck. keep it clean and the dirt wont be the problem anymore. also check to see if your shifter is hitting the floor, remove the whole shifter boot inside the cab and see why its binding/loose/whatever.
