if i understand your problem correctly, it is that you can't get the bolt that holds the crankshaft pulley on loose. here's a trick, use a long breaker bar with the right size socket to turn the bolt counter-clockwise while cranking the engine. you can place the bar end against the truck frame or something solid. let the starter do the the work for you. if memory serves the engine turns clockwise so put the breaker bar pointed towards the driver side and crank the engine in short burst. good luck. also don't worry about the valves, this is a "non-interference" engine; meaning the valves and pistons don't knock when the belt breaks.
