4 Speed Issues

I am experiencing issues with my 86 4x4 300 I-6. I was coming home from work today and crusing in 4th gear at about 50 on a down hill slope. I leveled off the throttle and started hearing what sounded to be gears grinding together. When I stepped on the gas, it was like the truck was in neutral instead of 4th. I pushed in the clutch, pulled to the middle and stopped. I put the truck in 2nd to go again, and when I let out on the clutch, it sound like gears grinding and it went no where. As I got further out on the clutch, it "caught" and jerked a little and started moving. I drove the rest of the way home without issue. When I left a little while later, it did it again as I was coasting up to a stop sign and pushed the shifter into 3rd. I pulled it back out and pushed it back into third and it caught again. Otherwise, it drives fine. It usually happens after its warmed up and has been running 15 minutes.

What could be causing this to happen?
