Post hard to start

I have a '93 7.3 IDIT diesel with a 5-speed manual tranny. As you know on those years you need to engage the clutch to start the vehicle. My problem is that I have to jam the clutch to the floor to get the ignition to turn over. I sometimes need to use the steering wheel to get extra leverage to start the vehicle. Also, my clutch is a little stiff and releases very low to the floor. If I don't keep the clutch fully depressed, like at a stop light, if I even let off just a little, the clutch will begin to engage. I'm not real familiar with hydraulic clutches and their adjustability if there is any. I'll appreciate you help.
