Default Emergency need help asap!

I accelerated from a red light and I heard a loud crack. I have NO forward gears, the ABS went crazy. The transmission wants to go in reverse but it feels like something is wedged in the rear end. The transmission is in park and it is fine.
Does it sound like I blew my rear end or something in the transmission?

P.S. I sitting in my truck on the side of the road.

The transmission goes into reverse and starts to go about 1 foot, but it feels like something is holding the truck.

P.S. This is his wife on the phone with him telling me what to tell you.

Check the rear out may of blown the differential and that may be holding you.

Also pull the tranny dip stick and see if it has a burnt smell to it and check to see if its dark red or bright red.

The transmission fluid is perfect. I thought maybeit was the output shaft but I guess not.

I would just get a tow home and then have a good look over everything.

I'd be willing to put money on it, it's the g80 assuming he has the stocker still. It's definitely the most common thing.
