Is this a new to you truck? Or you have had it for years and done regular oil changes, and suddenly it did this?
If this truck is new to you, and the oil hadn't been changed, then the detergents in the new oil will break loose stuff in the engine and also be thinner and tend to leak and run into places the old thick oil didn't, like worn valve guides and rings.

If your PCV valve is working, and you are getting a lot of smoke coming out of the oil filler cap, your engine has a lot of wear. That's why it's smoking. Just keep oil in it, and as long as it doesn't foul the sparkplugs so the engine misses, you can keep using the truck as is.

Pennzoil? I hate that stuff. It causes the following:
One possible item is the oil drains in the heads could be plugged up and holding too much oil at the top of the engine. When this happens, oil will flow past the valve seals into the cyls, and smoke is common.
