The truck is running but I drove it on the highway in second at 60 mph before I realized I was not in drive. the engine is not locked. It just rattles a little in the crank.

Well shoudlnt' cost too much. You figure new bearings new seals, new gaskets, belts. Less than a thousand bucks. Most of it you coudl do yoruself. Do it yoruself send out the head and crank to be balanced and polished. Though i'm not sure a 72 chevy is even worth that much.

You could probably have it rebuilt for $1500.00. But, If it's a common size motor, I would buy new out of the crate engine for about the same price maybe a little bit less. Plus, you would have a better warranty.

Try some heavy (20-50) oil and a can of STP before you spend a ton of money getting new crank bearings. $2000.00 at least. Good luck.
