Default clutch / trans problems

I am working on a 75' that has not been started for 7 years. I got the engine running and the cooling systems works now. I finally got the brake system done over the weekend.

Today I started it up and shifted through the gears. It didn't engage and when I took my foot off the brake nothing happened.

I would assume that the clutch is stuck after all these years or is the (automatic) trans itself?

Any input is appreciated.

You can't be sure the level is correct until you start the engine.
