Allot of effort for nothing gained I would say. It can be done pretty easily. Would have to take the bell housing, slave cylinder, line, reservoir, master cylinder / rod assembly, and pedal from a C/K with a juice clutch.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

if you put a hydraulic clutch in your truck, it would make it easier and cheaper to do a NV4500 (5 spd OD) swap in the future if so desired.
1981 Chevy dually 350 4spd. (One piece at a time)
1994 GMC C1500 4.3L 4L60E. (340K Daily Driver/Resto-Mod)

Springy as in stiff?  if so that is probably because it has a 3 finger clutch in it.  If you change to a diaphram it will be much easier.
