My fiance just had a new transmission put in his truck. Nothing appears to be wrong with the new transmission, but when he pushed on the truck it moved. It was in park. What could be the cause of this?

Depends on how much it moved. When you put it in park there is a parking pawl (so called) which locks the transmission to keep it from rolling. however it is just a tooth between a couple of gear teeth and has some play. The vehicle can be moved back and forth (rocked) a bit at times but if he is able to roll it any distance he needs to take it back to the shop which did the work.

If the transmission is new, then it could be as simple as the shifter cable not being properly aligned and when you do shift to park, it doesn't engage.

Broken detent in the transmission
Disconnected drive shaft
Mis-aligned shift linkage.
