Unhappy Tragedy has finally struck my baby!!!

I finally took some pictures of my truck this weekend but some bad thongs happened to my truck. On the way to go take the pics, my lower front d/s caliper pin slipped out and the bracket came loose, luckily I felt and pulled over. I was close to my work so I turned around and drove it into the garage and onto the lift. I took my wheel off and fixed the problem, greased the crap out of it and all that good stuff. Well after I get back to my gfs house and take the pics, I go to pick up some food and I notice that the service engine soon light comes on. Well I walk back to the truck and theres just a giant puddle of coolant under it!! Im guessing its a blown head gasket or freeze plug cause when you pour water in it, it just starts gushing out kinda from on top of the bell housing, I had no one to help me tow it to work but I just barely was able to make it home by dumping all kinds of water into it. So anyways I didnt post my pics for obvious reasons, but Ill find out whats wrong and take pics of the steps it took to fix it. Ill keep you guys posted.
