Hard Clutch

While doing my conversion, I checked the clutch and it appeard to be good with minimum wear. Also the pressure plate had minimum wear. Flywheel is a single mass.
Now, the clutch pedal is very hard to depress and it makes it hard to take off,without jerking the truck. Any suggestions of what to do, or is this normal ? Btw the TO bearing is new.

You said it was a Valair IIRC. It's probably a 3400 lb. pressure plate. They're pretty stout.
