I realize there has been many questions asked about this and I have read quite a few but still doesn't really answer my curiosity completely, so here it goes... Say if I need to use the truck 60-70...

Looking at an F250 with ratings label on vehicle showing Front GAWR 5,940#,
Rear GAWR 6,100#, and GVWR 10,000#. So what should I use as the GVWR value when using a 5th wheel weight calculator. The axles would total to a 12000# GVWR but the label says 10000#? Is this a legal limit so that if I am in an accident and it is found I was over the 10000# limit there could be a citation of some sort?
No citation will be issued for being over the trucks GVWR. GVWR isn't used by dot in a legal sense for how much weight it can carry (private or commercial).
Now if your carrying weight above the trucks drive or steer axle/tire load rating then you may receive some type of over weight citation if a over weight condition caused a accident.
Your state motor vehicle division dept or your local area state troop division HQ can give you what your legal requirements are and what isn't.
