Easy to free them. Assuming your truck does run and stop.
1- gear in neutral, start the truck and let it warm up for 10 mins
2- Turn off engine, pump the brakes a few times and hold them down
3. press down the clutch and turn the starter (this often frees it up just from the warm engine and jolt of the starter)
4- if still stuck, hold down the clutch and jab the throttle a few times
if its real stuck you can take it to an empty road and in low gear get it rolling then stab the throttle a few times with the clutch pressed
