Rebuild man! Rebuild!
If you can salvage the new parts (or as many as possible) and re-use the block, you are halfway home. I'm sure you'll find lots of help here to get it back together!

Keep it Rubber Side Down!

Sorry about your truck. I would have to agree about rebuild, since from what you are saying the rod came out of the oil pan, the block may still be good. If it is, rebuild is the way to go. However if you want to sell it let me know where you are and how much you want for it. My "poor truck" could use some of those new parts. LOL.
