Newbe question on clutch pedal travel

[Flathead Fever]

I was a phone company fleet mechanic for 30-years. We had about 400 trucks with clutches. If all the linkage is tight and nothing none of it is worn-out, and the pedal doesn't grab until the very top of its travel, with about an inch of free play, it's about time for a new clutch. If you drive it too much longer it will begin to slip. It should grab about the middle of its travel. I must have replaced hundreds of them over 30-years. Those drivers were brutal on those clutches. They finally figured out they weren't saving anything by buying manual transmissions and they switched to automatics.
