Sounds to me like your clutch itself isn't shot. Bad 'master' cylinder?
Slave? Or hose between? Seems more like it....
If it were an older truck, I would say linkage :-)
It might be worth a few minutes laying under it and looking up... it might
be obvious.

Subject: [MV] Clutch?
I guess I may be on foot now.
About 2 miles form the GA MVPA rally, the clutch broke on my 1998 GMC
1 ton dual wheel pickup. I was pulling a trailer full of mv stuff to
sale at the rally. It has a 5 speed manual and less than 40000 miles on
it. It had started to feel funny about half way to Atlanta. I felt a
pop when shifting into 5 after stopping at a redlight. At the next
light I found the clutch would not disengage. I had to switch the key
off at red lights and crank it in gear to go. I could shift from 1st
to 2nd (i didn't try to go higher). I managed to limp to the show site
and park the truck at the rally. A Friend of my son followed us to
Atlanta so I have a ride for now. Any suggestions? Anybody know a
good transmission shop in Atlanta? I am giving serious consideration
to trading it in on a new ride. Know a good dealer?
