I believe that you are experiencing a classic VSS failure. Not sure where yours will be located. In my 2WD it was screwed into the rear diff, up on top.

Follow the wiring from the sensor on the differential, to where it crosses over to the frame and heads forward. Have seen several harnesses get beat up by gravel where they are exposed. The wires can get torn open and corrode. Also have a close look at the terminals on the sensor connector for corrosion.
