1995 Ford F150 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 120k miles

I drive a 1995 F-150 2WD Manual with 120k miles. When I'm getting off the highway, and I take it out of gear, I get a sudden vibration. When I drop it back in gear, the vibration goes away.
When I'm slowing for a red light, right before I come to a stop and I'm out of gear, I can hear a tinny-sounding rubbing noise that quickly slows and stops with my truck.
And finally, when it's in gear, there seems to be alot of play between applying the gas, and letting the engine slow my speed. I get a clunk more often than not.
Whats going on?
