Kyplowboy has your answer.The oil return holes are plugged in the cylinder heads.The engine is gummed with oil deposits.If you remove the valve covers you will see the problem.It will look like black mud under the covers.Dig all you can out with a screwdriver and a narrow putty knife.Reinstall the covers and go get a couple of quarts of Rislone from your Auto Parts store.Go ahead and pour 1 qt. in the engine now.Start it and let it warm up and then drive it a few miles while watching your oil guage.It should show good pressure now.The Rislone is cutting the deposits loose now as the engine runs.Drive it only a few miles then drain all the oil and Rislone out of the crankcase.You will be astounded at what you will see in the drainpan.Go ahead and change the oil and filter.Drive it about 500 miles and repeat this using the other qt. of Rislone.When you get it cleaned out start changing your oil every 3000 miles.The reason you don't see oil on the dipstick is because the engine is gummed up the oil is trapped in the upper part of the engine.It has no quick path back to the oil pan.If you check it with the engine cold "after it sits for several hours" it will probaly check full.The noise you hear is the hydraulic lifters rattling due to lack of oil and pressure.Run it like this for long and you will need an engine.This truck probaly calls for 5w30 motor oil.I would use a good 10w30 wt. in it now and keep it changed at 3000 mile intervals.Good Luck.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
