i cant see the video, i extracted the file but nothing will play it.
Quicktime.

The guy who pulled the engine told me it ran good when he removed it but had to shut it off quickly because the oil filter had a hole in it and started leaking every where. I did seen the oil though.
I am going to go buy some wires today see what happens, and some seafoam.

No blue smoke, nothing just white, and idles really really rough. I did put it at 1, and it seemed to be pointing at 1.

I don't think it's the motor it has to do with timing Look at this:

Looks like gas behind the exhaust...

For that much fuel, your spark plugs have got to be soaked when you pull 'em, yes? You're sure it's fuel, and not oil or coolant (it doesn't look like oil)? What is your fuel pressure with the key on and system primed? Should be close to 50 PSI.

I don't have anything to check the fuel pressure with, im pretty sure it's gas, because my coolant is green, and the oil is brownish... Not sure what is causing that much gas though, that was all just than, and yes we do have snow what a bummer... How do you check the PSI pressure? I am thinking there is a problem with spark or gas timing.

well she's blowing gas out the exhaust that means it's not firing, Check your coil, make sure its not weak. The timing chain could be loose. If all else fails, have the truck towed to a mechanic or something. I dont think there's anything major wrong with the engine or it wouldnt even turn over.
