clutch smell??

I can smell my clutch after driving, not sure how old clutch is, but it doesn't feel like it is slipping at all - but I do smell it a little after just regular driving? Any thoughts, maybe its just my crappy driving, just got the truck, 1993 5.8L F250 5spd, 4x4, and probably a bit rusty with the manual trans.

thanks

by the way how do I find out if my 351 is a Windsor or whatever??

Starting in 1984 the the windsor was the only 351 ford offered in the trucks.

Not sure what to tell you about the clutch, if you are smelling it burn/slip, it could be on it's way out.

Are you sure your parking brake isn't hanging up a little?
