I've only had the truck for about a year. I'm mainly using it to help with the full renovation of my house. I'm in the truck for basically nothing. Kinda just a beater truck really.

I don't think rebuilding it is worth it. I'd rather just attempt to find a used motor and install it. The truck is a work truck so it isn't in perfect condition by any means. Plus if I were to spend a bunch of money rebuilding this motor, I'd rather just buy a brand new truck. This truck does have 250k miles so it is used a lot so I like the idea of not having a "perfect" truck. I'm hoping to find a used motor for around $1500, hopefully without more then 100k miles.

Yes, my suggestion was more about getting a professional opinion as to your most viable option.  You may find that your current engine may benefit from some love and another component of your truck would benefit more from replacement.  After an engine replacement the rest of your powertrain still will have high mileage.  I say this from personal negative experience on a previous truck.  "Beaters" can be a very expensive luxury.  A $300 utility trailer can be equally handy with home renovations.
