That's a nice looking truck to start with. I have a set of grill inserts that will make it look a lot nicer, sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Think they are aftermarket but if you got the shipping covered, they are yours.

Looks like you have enough pedal free play......To me, that (chirping?) noise sounds like a throw out berrin.....or an input shaft berrin.
Pull the boot off the clutch fork...you should be able to peek in at the throw out berrin and the shaft......you might be able to get a couple fingers in there too. What are your observations?

Thanks very much!

Here is the video again so people don't have to look for it. So I am troubleshooting the whirring/whining of the clutch that you can hear change wen I depress the clutch pedal. It does it in all gears and is loudest with the clutch out. I am going to take the shifter apart this weekend as suggested in an earlier post to look at the bearings. Any other things to check....

As was already posted, I would put my money on clutch throw-out (release) bearing or transmission input shaft bearing and/or pilot bearing going bad.
If the noise does not change much when shifted into 4th gear then it is probably the throw-out bearing.
In 4th gear the input shaft is locked to the output shaft which usually takes the load of the input bearing and causes it to quiet down significantly if it is the source of the noise.
Divorced transfer case makes pulling transmission a little easier. Plan on replacing clutch disc and pressure plate while you are in there. If transmission bearings are suspect at all, change them out while you have it apart.
Welcome to the world of old Ford trucks. At least they are simple to work on and parts are readily available at reasonable cost compared to late model trucks.

Would this be a good kit?

Can you tell if it has the bearings I need?
What would you recommend for clutches?

The throwout bearing isnt in the transmission, its part of the clutch. It goes on the fork that goes into the bellhousing. While the transmission is out, have your flywheel surfaced and throw a new clutch kit in it and be down with it. THese 4 speeds are easy, strong and reliable. If you have a friend that transmission can be out in about an hour if you have a good plan.
LEt me know when those inserts get there.

Pretty much any brand name replacement clutch assembly will be fine. Just don't buy the cheapest one.... Depending on the kit, it may include a throw-out bearing or you may have to buy that separately.
That transmission rebuild kit shown in your post looks pretty decent. Its usually a lot cheaper to buy the complete kit as opposed to purchasing individual parts. These transmissions are pretty straight forward to rebuild and I am sure there are plenty of how-to guides on the net.
Take lots of photos during dis-assembly if you are not familiar with these transmissions as that will make life much easier when putting it back together.
Your truck looks pretty good (although I admittedly tend to be a bit biased towards highboys
)
