It's morning! Let's go!
Wasn't trying to be a butt last night, but you were a bit incoherent. :>)
Small amount of water running out the tailpipe: Normal. That engine runs on steam as a part of the combustion process. You were seeing the condensation of that steam at your tailpipe.
Broken crank. Doubt it; you probably would have been walking if that were the case.
Early eighties engine; grunts when started and now hammers: Only heavy duty truck engines had steel camshaft gears; everything else had a plastic coated gear to keep the engine noise down.
That plastic would come off, fall in the oil pan and the engine would then jump time. That's the first place I'd look on that rascal.
Also, and for what it is worth, that gear can be replaced in roughly 2 hours without pulling the pan. However, those pieces of plastic can sometimes plug the oil pump pickup tube; watch your oil pressure.
Engine is noisier and gearshift vibrates when the clutch is pushed: Check the transmission mounting bolts; those dudes had a nasty way of working loose.
Perhaps you need an engine, who knows? But these are just some ideas for you to work with.
Sounds like you're a very hard working guy and need your truck. Hope you find the trouble and get it fixed in a hurry.
