Joe get under the truck watch your clutch lever make sure it is moving enough.
While your under there make sure your trans doesn't move back it doesn't take much I have seen this happen several times with a cracked bellhousing.
If your not getting enough clutch movement time to look under the dash the holi in the rod going to the mastercylinder sometimes wears again it doesnt take much.
I have even had to replace the pedal assembly before because of too much wear does your pedal have much slack in it.

Joe he's talking about the plastic bushings in your pedal assembly very common for these to wear out and causing a little slack before it pushes the clutch rod again on these clutch settups it takes very little slack to cause problems.

Look at the pin on the arm where the clutch master cylinder attaches to it.
That plastic bushing is probably gone.
How far do you have to push the pedal down before you feel resistance in the clutch pedal?
