Re: Clutch pedal adjustment?
Man7, read my post above, #2 I believe. Also read about changing pressure plate style to diaphram type. Also, it might be a good idea to learn how to shift without using the clutch. I drove 18 wheelers for years and not using the clutch is second nature.

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.

Re: Clutch pedal adjustment?
Under the truck, there is a threaded rod with a wave washer and nut which should be adjusted. It determines, to some extent, the point at which the clutch engages. I have about 1" of thread showing past the nut. I once thought I needed a new clutch when I could not easily get into gear, but I just needed to tighten that nut and all was well. The nut sometimes works down the threads and may need to be adjusted occasionally. I have a weak knee also but I don't find the mechanical clutch to be a problem - not as easy as an hydraulic clutch but I would not consider it stiff at all. A lighter spring will help, but may not be strong enough to hold up under repeated use.
