Tranny problems

I recently purchased an 85 f150 with an L6 bolted to what i believe is a 4 speed toploader

When the truck has sat for awhile it shifts fine but i drove it to work today to see what else would break and after getting off the highway and sittin in gate traffic with foot in the clutch and in 1st the whole time moving inch by inch. I got onto base and she didnt want to shift at all i have had this problem at lights coming out of gear to not have to hold the clutch the whole time an stay in first but if i dont She dosnt want to shift i to gear at all. Any ideas???

Check the firewall where the clutch master mounts. They crack. A flexing firewall will cause that problem.
