Bad hose or radiator I would suspect

You have a big leak somewhere. The fact that you are using water at this time of year makes me wonder if you didn't crack something. Start with a flashlight and new batteries. Have someone pour water in from a big container. Look at the hoses, radiator, sides and front of the engine. You should see water pouring somewhere. Then repeat the process and narrow it down to a specific point. Good Luck.

Have it towed to a garage or if the shop is close enough to drive to without hurting your truck take it in for a pressure test and that will show you your leaky spots one at time. Can you tell where the water is pouring out at? Radiator hose,radiator itself or a heater hose? Is the draincock closed? It is locatedat the passenger side bottom of the radiator and is a T handled shaped spigot about an inch and a half long

Sounds like it could be alot of different reasons. You didn't get too specific, so I can only guess.
Well, first of all, you could either have a radiator leak or leaking radiator hoses.
You could have a cracked cylinder block. You could have a cracked intake manifold. You could have a leaky gasket around the water pump.
Could be any number of these. Check them out.
Hope this helps.

Where is the water leaking out?
(could be a bad: hose, radiator, heater core, head gasket, intake manifold gasket, heater line, water pump)

because you have a big hole on your radiator or one of your coolant hoses. Also use ant freeze not just water. If you use only water than this will cause your coolant system to rust and it will also fill and clog your radiator and heater core with mineral and rust deposits. Have your car towed to a mechanic and have it fixed.

Depends on where it's leaking the water from, but in short, it does that because you have a big *** leak somewhere. more info please.
