This may sound gross...but after you run your truck awhile, put some miles on that oil, before you change it, take a drop from the dipstick, put it on your finger and taste it, if there is antifreeze in your oil it will be easy to tell. Antifreeze is sweet, oil is not. Sometimes, its bad enough you can smell the antifreeze.

Rinse out your tongue with some water afterwards.
