If you’re using the same setup as before, pressure plate, disc and throw out bearing, and the only thing you did is resurface the flywheel, and everything went back together correctly, then it should work with the same linkage setting as before.
Unless, when you removed the transmission you let it land hang on the disc, which might have bent the hub of the disc and caused it to hang up either on the splines or remaining in contact with the flywheel on one side and the pressure plate on the other.
When you say it won’t release, is that with the engine running? Try starting the engine with the transmission in gear and the clutch pedal depressed. If the truck doesn’t move then the clutch is releasing.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
