I agree with Bernette. My dad taught me how to drive stick on his Coast Guard truck with a 4 speed non-synchro transmission. He never double clutched, but instead controlled the rpm's. Starting out from a stop in 2nd, upshift to 3rd as soon as you can without lugging the engine. Do the same going into 4th. Downshifting is harder, and as Bernette suggests, you have to speed up the engine before making the shift.
I double clutch now, but still grind some gears. It's all part of the charm of driving a real truck.
Good luck.
