Is there a return spring on the pedal linkage? There should be a spring about 3/4" in diameter and several inches long that pulls the outer end of the throwout arm toward the front of the truck. There's sometimes a small bracket with a hole in it under one of the oil pan bolts that the spring hooks onto.
