Quite possibly you have a broken front axle engagement fork. Not certainly, but very possibly if all else checks out. Seen 'em on eBay for under $50 if you can do the work.
Have someone engage 4x4 while you are underneath and watching the shift lever- make sure the vacuum system is working. If not, I replaced my vac system with a cable system mounted inside the cab.
Couple ideas for ya.

It might be an easy fix, with mine the shift lever near the vacuum actuaor was moved out of its slot, everything was working, it just wasnt engaging because since it was moved out of the slot the fork could not actuat, moved it back into the slot and wallah it was fixed, welded the pin in place where it is attached too on top so it wouldnt move forward out of the slot again, works great now

had this problem with mine also. Had vacuum lines get a hole in em and wouldnt engage. you can manually engage the front dif by moving the lever yourself. try engaging the lever yourself and see if works. if it does its something vacuum related. if not then its the shift fork.
if it is a vacuum problem it could be the vacuum lines, actuator on axle, or the solenoids on the firewall. If you need any more help pm me and ill do what i can to help you.
