Clutch issue

I bought an 87' F-150 with a 347 (or so he says, it doesnt sound like a 302) stroker, with a 4 inch skyjacker suspension lift (with lift springs in the back) and it was having clutch issues.

The guy that origionally had it said he had put a brand new clutch in it. I was messing with it all weekend. I adjusted the Hydrolic clutch cylender, bled it. i even put a new one in it. I looked closer at the fork thinking it was bent (which it isnt bent) and it wasnt on the throwout berring at all. so i thought it was fixed.

Before i couldnt get it to go into gear with it running. And even after i put it where it was suposed to be it is still grinding when i try to get it into gear.

Any of you guys have any suggestions? It is a really nice truck and i would like to get it running soon!

When you have it in gear, engine running, clutch pedal to the floor, does the truck creep at all?
