Why does it always have to be bad news

I was getting excited about getting my truck closer to being a driver, so after they motor had been sitting for almost 2 years I fired it up only to hear a rod knock !!! so I tear down my short block I bought thinking it only needed new rings an bearings , only to find that some PO ! had ran it out of oil an the #6 rod bearings were shot an had ground a 1/8 inch deep spot on its side of the crank so now I have to find a new crank , new rods ! good news is that but 4 bolt main block is still good ! I'm hoping to pull my motor thats in it an find out how bad things are there maybe I can have that crank redone an the rod isnt to bad !
