What do you mean by "the head locked up"? is the engine locked and won't turn over with the starter or by hand?

I think he means the cam froze up? Besides the point of over-tightening the bearing caps, but if it is what I think is happening is that no oil is reaching the cam, but thats if your sure the head is the problem.

I don't think the B2500 trucks are OHC.

Yea, youre right, I was thinking of the 2.3 and in that case his trouble could be in the lower part of the engine.
