Welcome to FTE! You're in the wrong forum for your 99, maybe a mod will move the thread for you. Also, it helps if you give details about your truck when posting. Things like engine size, transmission, year, 2 or 4 wheel drive. You can either type it out for each post or just put the details in your signature like you see at the bottom of my post here.

As for your problem... can you turn the engine over with a breaker bar on the crank balancer bolt? If not then you now own a boat anchor.

If it does turn then top off the oil, put a mechanical gauge on it (if it's a V8 then the port is near the oil filter, just unscrew the stock sensor and connect a gauge there) and see if you can't start it up and get a pressure reading.

Don't know about the V6 motor but on the V8 engines the oil pump is driven directly off the crank on these engines so there ain't much to go wrong besides a clogged pickup or broken pump.
