Sounds like a loose or missing set screws on one of the gear drives or drive cups.

Does the A gear spin when you rev it up?

Does the truck roll smoothly when the engine is off?

This has set screw behind a gear writen all over it...A or D . they may feel tight but the torq from the motor will let the squares break loose and spin on the shaft if the setscrew is loose.

It must have been the clutch,the old didn't look that bad,went thru drive line did find a few things that needed to be tightened up, put the new clutch in and it works fine sitting on the work bench,will give it a test run this afternoon.
