I'd fix the p2197 code first since they don't run well lean.

Tough question, the answer depends on so many factors.Well the engine has lost compression in 1 cylinder. Don’t know if I should just resell or fix it. It’s really a nice clean truck minus the engine repair. It’s the holiday season and the wife is gonna flip if I spend money on an engine repair. What do you guys think??
The catalyst is likely dead, but that is not your primary problem and will not prevent the engine from idleing The cat was red hot because the engine is running SUPER rich. I don't think that the O2 sensor stuck lean is your main problem (causing the computer to try to force it rich), but is probably should be replaced.I believe the cause of my trouble was a clogged catalytic converter. It was bright red when I looked at it tonight. That's my next step and I will go from there.
I agree with this. I knew someone who got a deal, on a Cadillac. He bought in Alabama after hurricane Katrina. It looked fine, but had one problem after another. Mostly electrical, beware. CHECK PLUG on bad cylinder, they come loose. If it was driven misfiring, toasted the Cat.What part of the country did the previous owner reside in? The flooded hurricane specials will start showing up soon if they haven't already.
