I was on my way to a hunting trip with my duck boat yesterday when the transmission started to fail. Once I stopped on the side of the road, the truck would not move in reverse or drive etc. Its pretty much fried right? After towing it home, I am leaning towards selling the truck as is. What can I expect to sell it for? 114k miles. white with tan leather, running boards. 2nd owner florida car. Thoughts?

Take it somewhere and get it diagnosed before you panic.
Whens the last time you serviced the transmission?

60k without a fluid change is a terrible way to treat a transmission. Remember only about 25% of the fluid drains out every time.
You may have caused terminal damage by not changing the fluid or filter at 90k.
It will cost some $ but I would tow it to the garage, get them to remove the filter,drain and refill the fluid 2-3 times minimum and maybe maybe you will get the transmission back.....this will cost you though. From what you right I think there has already been considerable damage to the box and torque converter.....
