Clutch issues
So yesterday and today I've noticed that every once in awhile I would push the pedal clutch down and it would make a "pop" sound then it would get stuck in first gear and acted almost like the clutch itself was still engaged (possibly just my imagination). Any ideas on what could be the issue?

With the truck sitting still can you press and release clutch normally - pedal goes down and returns?
Answer those first and we'll follow you down the rabbit hole...

OK -- Whats in the F-100? V8, 6 Cyl, 4 speed, 3 speed, original engine and trans or swapped for newer stuff? Mods to the clutch pedal or clutch linkage or all original stuff?

It's a 1964 f100 with a 292 and 3 speed on the column. When I got brought it home, all of the clutch release assembly was gone, but I ordered all the parts from LMC so it's new but it's still the original design. I also had it installed by a local car shop that specializes in American classics and newer imports

Popping sound could be caused by bushings. Buying the parts from LMC (their catalog is rife with errors) compounds the problem, I doubt they are all correct.
2461: Nylon bushings on the clutch pedal shaft / 7526: Nylon bushings on the clutch pedal release rod / 7517: Bronze 'split' bushings on the equalizer bar.
What sucks about this picture?

LOL! Nothing - now that I see I was looking at the wrong one in my book! Cant agree more on the bushings etc. OP needs to isolate the noise a little further, still not sure how he is having issue in first gear etc...

In each lever is a rubber bushing & insulator. The rubber bushings age crack/disintigrate, the shift lever binds up between 1st & 2nd.

Bottom of the steering column under the hood are the two manual control selector levers that the rods from the trans attach to.

The line is farther away than it looks and I've trimmed the zip tie since then. But it would just get caught on that arm/cotter pin
