Did you ever get your clutch to bleed?
I struggled with mine for days when I did it. The key for me was to do a really good bench bleed, then just a whole lot of gravity bleeding and pumping up the clutch. The most seuccessful time still took me 1 qt brake fluid and 30 mins of pumping the clutch in between gravity bleeds.
Also different truck, 94 f150, 4.9L
My clutch rod was originally plastic, but I replaced the master cylinder and it came with a solid metal arm. I retrofitted the arm, but now the interlock stays stuck on all the time because the retrofit clutch arm/eye shoulder is too fat.

Well sort of.......
I got it to where I could move it out of the garage. I still need to do it again as there is room for improvement. My pedal bushing are bad so I am waiting on parts beofre I do another bleed. I am trying to NOT take off the slave cylinder and do a bench bleed, but it may be my only option.
