Hmmm, not sure. Could be about anything. Head gasket? head? or cylinder wall??
Does motor turn over?? If so, does it start?? Smoke really bad??
So investigation is required to figure out exactly what is actually wrong.

Oh it could be any number of things. Here's a possible list:
1. Hole in piston
2. Cracked ring
3. broken rod
4. broken wrist pin
5. cracked cylinder
6. blown head gasket
7. burned valve
8. cracked valve
9. bent valve
10. cracked cylinder head
11. bent pushrod
12. flat cam
Shall I go on?

See #5. 
My intuition tells me it's most likely something fixable. See if you can run it. If it runs and has oil pressure it's probably fixable.

Could be something real easy - like the spark plug fell out. More likely a burned valve - the thing is that it is not enough to accept someone's word as to what is wrong. You have to find out for yourself.

So you bought this truck, how did you get it home? If it ran, you are ok. if you pulled it, yank the plugs and see if you can turn the motor over at the crank by hand. There is a little self evaluation you need to do before moving forward...
