Just installed new clutch in the truck listed above and put the transmission back in. Now the clutch pedal will not move when pressed. No idea why or what i need to do to fix it. Really don't want to take the transmission out again but if I have to I will. Anyone know what i need to do?

This is a bit of a unique issue because you have a hydraulic clutch system. So normally when there is an issue the pedal will depress but not return or release the throw out bearing.

If it will not depress then I would think something has to be blocking the pedal, master cylinder, or throw out bearing/pressure plate.

I would doubt there is an issue with the hydraulic system if you have not bled the clutch yet so I would reinspect the master cylinder and pedal connection and make sure there is nothing blocking it.

Here is a guide that talks about the throw out bearing which may be part of the issue:
