clutch problem????

I have a 64 F250 4x4, with a 292 in it.

Here is the problem, I had the truck in 4x4 low, and I stepped on the clutch which felt a little funny and the pedal when to the floor. So now if I pull the pedal back my hand it makes a clicking noise when the pedal is ¾ of the way back.

What is wrong with it?

Sounds like something is broken inside your mechanical hand.

Climb under and check the linkage.

Have a 65 4X2 but believe clutch mechanism same. As John noted, sounds like clutch linkage issue. Possibly something as simple as the cotter key came off the clutch adjustment rod so when one pushes on the clutch pedal there is no resistance and pedal will go to the floor and stay. Hopefully, not traveling at the time and rod now setting somewhere along the road. If it is linkage, with any luck, the clutch adjustment rod worked loose from the clutch fork and is hanging from the assembly bar. Seems would have had some prior indication clutch needed adj. for it to become loose enough to drop. Even if return spring was to break or come loose, there should be enough tention on assembly where the clutch pedal would still return to normal position and clutch to operate normally. Anyhow, felt an urge to add my $.02, good luck. Interested in what you find out.
