Default 99 F250SD Triton 5.4 gas 4wd coolant in the oil, 349000 mi

99 F250SD Triton 5.4 gas 4wd coolant in the oil 349,000 mi.
Replaced vc gaskets and thermostat. Radiator less than 6 mos old. Now the fluids are mixed..I stopped running it immediately. It also had a loping or surging when idling before this happened. And the old truck has squeaky suspension.
One shop told me its not worth replacing heads gaskets or do a head job because bottom end of the motor wont hold up after that. This old truck is a beauty and I should keep it.
Looking for some wisdom...
