Unhappy Stuck in park

hello, i have a 1989 ford truck with an auto trans and it wont shift from park. This is what happend... I stoped at a gas station and put some gas in it, when i went to start it the ignition didnt turn on. The key just spun around and didnt catch anything. So i put it in neutral and pushed it into a parking spot put it in park. Then i took off the bottom cover from the column and pushed the ignition rod down and it started, but when i tried to put it in gear it wouldn't move from park... Ok so i dont know where the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid is and im sure it has something to do with this. Is there a way to just take out the safety lock or disable it, cuz i dont wana put any money in this truck. Iv tried taking out the fuse for the brakes and shift it but it didnt work. I got it home by taking a bolt out of one of the levers under the truck and just had someone push the brake while i shifted it into drive under the truck. Maybe i broke something taking off the cover on the column? Is there anything that i could broke to make this happen? Please need help and i dont have any cash, would like a quick fix for now so i can get to work!
