Check to see that when you depress the clutch pedal the slave cylinder moves the clutch fork. Can you shift it when the truck is not running?

is it a nv 4500, 5 speed manual? If so you may have a 5th gear nut that backed off.

It' wouldn't be the fifth gear nut if it wont come out of gear at all.. I'd do what mopar said and check all the linkage on the clutch first and then let us know

pull the drive shafts, transfer, and then unbolt the back trany case. you will see a round nut on the back of shaft. it is suposed to be very tight, like 300 fp. i would work main shaft back an forth and shift gears without truck runing to see any slop and then tighten. there are many forums on here about the 5th gear nut problem.
