You sure it's not a transmission problem?

Reading it I thought a belt broke, which would cause the engine to overheat and everything else to quit working as well.

One thing you got to know as a young man is how to work on your vehicles. When you get older and make some $ you can buy something better and pay someone to do the work if it needs it. Ask a friend or make one who is a gear head. Also sometimes schools have auto shops where they work on it for free. When I was young I had no vehicle. I threw my traps in a basket and hiked for many miles setting out my line. I always harvested some game for dinner a long the way. You can become one with nature this way. It's better than riding in a truck.

I was thinking broken water pump belt also , overheating didn't make sense otherwise

also is it a blown engine like a rod though the oil pan or blown head-gasket

head gaskets were fairly common on some of the gm v6 especially if you got them over heated

If the belt is gone, spin all the pulleys by hand, all should spin freely, except the crank. If one doesn't then that is why the belt is gone.
Check the oil, is there coolant in it? it'll look like a milkshake if there is. If not, pressure test the cooling system, This will tell you if the head gasket is blown, or there are other leaks in the cooling system.

Metal on the dipstick is not good. This motors were tough, you killed it good, sounds like.

Time to learn how to replace main bearings.

We figured that it wasn't too good, I haven't gotten a video of what it sounds like yet but will try to when I move it later today.

I wouldn't even run it. Try turning the crank on it with a big breaker bar. If it doesn't move smooth, next step is to drop the pan and check the crank.

If there really is metal on the dipstick, probably just get a rebuild/replacement lined up before pulling anything.

If I was serious about keeping that truck, I would find a salvage engine and go through it. Car-part.com lists salvage yards and will rate the condition of the part and mileage.

That's the way I look at it, someone asked me yesterday in school how I was still so happy even with having a truck with a blown engine and I said the same thing, "at least I didn't roll it onto its lid".

very very loose gravel , so loose the cops spun out responding ,he swerved to miss a big bore coon.
when he told me that I said really you killed like 50 this year already with a gun one more was going to be an issue !
I was afraid I would mess up the truck.
yeah how is that working for you
so the lesson is hit the coon save the tuck

I hope you get your truck going again , youth trapper.

Check the oil often …yah know ,with the dip stick…check tranny fluid ,with the dip stick ( while the engine is running in park.

Check hoses …belts…

Stuff that a16 year old knows nothing about.

Have your dad or an uncle or someone …show you .how to check all these things.
