checked my distributor today, been skipping alot, found gear almost worn completely away. Cam retard was at 12 degrees. Replaced distributor retard was at 38 degrees. Moved around til i got it to 2 degrees. once at 2 degrees the truck would barely idle and when i tried to idle it up it would pop and backfire. WTF?????????

You screwed something up. Take the dizzy out. Zero the engine to tdc on #1 one in firing position. and reinstall using the marks on dizzy body to ensure proper alignment when seated. If done properly and carefully you should be within 1 degree of a scanner zeroed engine with out using a scanner.
very high chance, replace it with a performance dbl roller from summit. Dont waste time on a single roller!

I believe it's supposed to be replaced every 100k or something. But honestly, who actually follows that?
I would just replace the chain anyways while you're at it...

never seen a maintenance manual say replace a timing chain every 100,000 miles.
