is the drive shaft turning? can you push the truck? is the shift linkage hooked up to the tranny? has it been giving any trouble? what happened the last time you drove it?

we need more info!

sounds like the shift linkage has come loose, mabey on the inside of the tranny, but i doubt it. check the linkage and see what happens.

could have broken the shift shaft that goes thru the tranny case also. i have seen 2 break right inside the case.
