I need step by step info on how to change the clutch on my 1952 F-2 that is frozen. It has been sitting for 3 years. My brother has faithfully started it weekly. and left it in neutral so the clutch is not disengaging. help!

Here is one way: Put the rear wheels on jack stands, put trans. in high gear, start engine, hold clutch pedal down, rev the engine and hit the brakes intermitently, and it will usually release.

I tried that. I also jacked one rear wheel up, had my wife put in 4th gear go up to 40 mph and I dropped the jack. ( the front bumper was against a tree with a tire between the bumper and the tree). I took it out on the road and with the clutch down increased and decreased the speed of the truck and to no avail!!! I am thinking my only choice now is take it apart?

I had a tractor with clutch frozen and could not release it by shocking as you describe. I blocked the pedal down for a few days and the next time I tried, it unstuck the first time I shocked it. Seems taking the pressure off it helps it to "relax".
