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

I worked on the clutch before the motor so the truck didn't have enough ass to really do any of the on road tricks, so what we did was jack the rear of the truck up on jack stands, started the truck in gear, and then floated it all the way into 5th and got it up to speed, pressed the clutch and pulled the E-brake... after a slight bang, i had a clutch again, and all was well, scary at first but once everything was fine after that my mind was at ease lol

and the reason the clutch was stuck is because of where the truck was parked during hurricane Harvey water got up to the bottom of the cab, not enough to go into the cab but enough that made the clutch rust and stick
