It sounds like that if you start it in neutral, you can't shift into gear with the engine running. Is that correct? You need to see if the clutch stuck in permanent engagement. You could put it in gear, use a prop to hold the clutch to the floor and then turn the engine with the fan belt. If that moves the truck, the clutch is stuck. There are various ways of correcting this without tearing things apart.

My clutch has stuck engaged 2 different times. I found I could start the truck in neutral,let it idle for 30 minutes, it would build enough heat to release the clutch.

This has only happened after letting the truck sit for 30 days or more.
