Check the fluid level first. If it's low, add then bleed.

it's probably the clutch master cylinder for the clutch slave cylinder

Yeah - I have advice - because this is going to start happening again, I had such experience about a decade ago.

Replace both the clutch master and clutch slave cylinder. Bench bleed the clutch master before installing. You'll bleed the air out of the system as last step.
These cylinders do go bad at least once per decade, consider getting with lifetime warranty.

Clutch master cylinder tips
Remove fluid from the reservoir, use a 10mm flare wrench to loosen the line to the clutch master, then remove the two nuts from the firewall under the dash using a 12mm socket and ratchet wrench. Pull the clutch master out to the front. Bench-bleed the replacement clutch master, thread in the fluid line several whole turns by hand, then tighten the two nuts, tighten the fluid line with the flare wrench, add fluid, and bleed through the slave cylinder.

Bench-bleed the clutch master cylinder before installing.
Use a flare wrench for inital loosening and final tightening of fittings so they don't round off.
Loosen the line from the clutch slave a little BEFORE unbolting it from the transmission (and the reverse when installing).
Bleed out ALL the old dirty clutch fluid (brake fluid) wheen bleeding so no old fluid remains in the system (don't let the reservoir go dry, keep topping it off as necessary).

RockAuto.com has slave cylinders for your 1986 B2000 for under $10, and clutch masters from under $20.

Looks like your local O'Reilly should stock these too

What a coincident. The clutch pedal in my 90 2600i pulled the same stunt the other day. (It stayed on floor)?!

This thread enlightened me that my slave cylinder gave up the ghost after 130K. It's been a while since I drove without a clutch but it's like riding a bicycle once you learn.........! Peeps are sure quick to give the one finger salute these days. :=) Especially at 4 way stops when ya don't wait your turn.

I came here looking for answers and I wasn't disappointed. I chose to swap out the master while I was at it and I'm good to go again. It's been a great little truck and still is.

Thanks again Mazdabscene.
