Kyplowboy has your answer.The oil return holes are plugged in the cylinder heads.The engine is gummed with oil deposits.If you remove the valve covers you will see the problem.It will look like black mud under the covers.Dig all you can out with a screwdriver and a narrow putty knife.Reinstall the covers and go get a couple of quarts of Rislone from your Auto Parts store.Go ahead and pour 1 qt. in the engine now.Start it and let it warm up and then drive it a few miles while watching your oil guage.It should show good pressure now.The Rislone is cutting the deposits loose now as the engine runs.Drive it only a few miles then drain all the oil and Rislone out of the crankcase.You will be astounded at what you will see in the drainpan.Go ahead and change the oil and filter.Drive it about 500 miles and repeat this using the other qt. of Rislone.When you get it cleaned out start changing your oil every 3000 miles.The reason you don't see oil on the dipstick is because the engine is gummed up the oil is trapped in the upper part of the engine.It has no quick path back to the oil pan.If you check it with the engine cold "after it sits for several hours" it will probaly check full.The noise you hear is the hydraulic lifters rattling due to lack of oil and pressure.Run it like this for long and you will need an engine.This truck probaly calls for 5w30 motor oil.I would use a good 10w30 wt. in it now and keep it changed at 3000 mile intervals.Good Luck.

For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
