Truck was running fine and stopped one day on side of road, it cranked back up went a little more then quit, got it home and it turned over real slow and made a rubbing noise, cranked for a second but won't turn over, did turn over a little today, can't turn over by pull bar on the crank pully?

Check oil level.

Was there any noise prior to this?

Do you have a gauge in the truck?

Try reversing the turning direction of the crankshaft to see if you can move much. Seems like you could have a fault with the timing chain.

Cant turn either way, would broke timing chain keep it from turning over?

Can't turn it either way can mean a seized engine due to lubrication faults. A broken timing chain would normally allow you to at least reverse the turning direction slightly unless the chain is stuck badly.
