How 'bout dropping the pan and unbolting the rods? If the main bearings are seized, then you could loosen the main caps and turn the engine. I am not speaking from experience cuz I have never taken the pan off in my truck so I don't know how hard that is, but I assume it is possible to do with the engine jacked up a little? Just curious, is it a 6 or 8 cylinder?
