Sounds like rings to me. Not to mention a totally hosed catalytic converter. Hope you didn't pay much more than scrap value for the thing.

 

Man that sucks!!!

 

thanks for the quick response. i have found another motor for a good price. and getting it installed for a cheap price family mechanic. ill have a couple hundred more than i wanted in it. but the frame and body is in good condition. although its only a two wheel drive truck .i kinda like it. its roomy and a standerd cant beat those 5 speed. former chevy lover. i had a 5 speed s-10 4x4 canda truck ate the pavement .my brother has a v8 magnum dodge 4x4 and it rips the pavement up. same year.
