Quick question about clutch problems

Today I was driving my f350 w/4 spd. Everything was fine until I started to hear a loud squeal/squeaky noise everytime I stepped on my clutch pedal. After a while, my clutch pedal became very tight, and I noticed that my truck would still move when I had the clutch pressed completely to the floor. The truck still drives fine though. Would could be the problem? Is my clutch bad, or a throw out bearing? I'm hoping it's just a simple adjustment needed. Any help would be great

What year is your truck, Ed?

That sounds like a throwout bearing.
There is no adjustment in a hydraulic clutch system.

It's a 1985 with a 460. If it is the throw out bearing, how many hours does a shop charge to change?

Get an entire clutch kit and not just 1/3rd of the parts, too much work to go through and not replace everything.

I would agree with Chris.
It's way too much work getting in there not to replace it all.
