Welcome to FTE.

It doesn't sound good for you - no compression is usually not an easy fix. It can only be a few things that cause it: Rings, Head Gasket, Burnt valves, or something like a cracked block or head.
How are your fluids? Any gas smell to the oil? Any backfire up through intake? How many miles on the truck?

Also, maybe a mod can move this thread for you, as there will be better advise in the appropriate forum (4 cyl engines).
