Clutch woes---solved...

Well folks, 
   It was the most obvoius thing of all the possibilities, and the most costly 
both for time/money...  The clutch friction material on the flywheel side 
disintergrated all at one...  This would explain why I heard the crunch, and 
then mashed on the clutch pedal and it went to the floor...  I think one major 
piece broke off, and then chewed its way all the way around, which gave me no 
pedal resistance...

  I should have guessed...  Don (the owner) is very hard on this truck, at 
least on occassion...  He also likes the feel of no pedal-play, in other 
words, no slack at the beginning of the pedal stroke...  Well, this is fine IF 
you keep up with it and adjust it from time to time...  Apparently, he did 
not, and also my driving it hard prolly did not help it much...  It should 
drive better with a new clutch in there, as it was beginning to get wet...  He 
also had a few motor mounts that were toast, so....

Thought I would let you all know what was up...  Thanks for all the help to 
whomever offered it.  It was very nice to have a list to look at instead of 
just thinking about it...
