Hold a piece of paper to cover exhaust it should move in and out like it does when you hold it against your mouth and breath if it stays out steady you have a burnt valve or just hold foot on the brake and apply a little braking force and press gas like power braking if it stumbles it's probably a burnt valve
When testing the compression did you squirt a little oil in the cylinder? if the compression doesn't change then you have a burnt valve, if it does change you have a broken rings on the piston
try a wet/dry compression test. if one or more of the cylinders are low by 30lbs or more and remains so after the wet test, then the valves are likely bent or burnt on that cylinder
Check compression on engine and if that's good then check injectors(may be bad) . The key to use when checking compression with a compression guage is NOT have your reading be more than psi difference between cylinders. For example is cylinder #1 is 150 psi and cylinder #2 is 172psi then there is a problem like a burnt valve or something . From my experience these types of misses usual come from bad plugs, wires or bad injectors. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA
try having the fuel filter changed first and have the timing checked and I don't know how many miles on the truck but check low or uneven cylinder compression pressure remove spark plugs and test the compression with a gauge but before doing all this it could be a weak or faulty ignition system
