I agree with Willy about the chain breaking and wadding up in the bottom of the timing cover, but can't you see the chain by looking between the front main and timing cover? You said the crank moved a little, could you see any of the pistons move at all, or is one of them seized in the block? Do all the cylinder walls look OK from the bottom? If a valve is on top of one of the pistons, stopping it from turning one direction, I would think that you should be able to turn it backwards and get it to move. One other possibility is that the bearing on the input shaft is locked up in the transmission, this would stop the motor and slide the tires, but with the trans in neutral the truck would still roll, since I figure you were able to roll it onto your trailer. Try having someone hold the clutch down, while you try to turn the motor over. Just a couple of more ideas to check, Good Luck. Rick
