Well I noticed after I changed my oil and I let the truck warm up for a few minuted before I drive it that it shifts much smoother. I do not know what this means, but I think I will just monitor it and if it gets worse or the clutch goes out then I will act on it. Thank you guys for all of the input! Also I don't even know how to adjust the clutch or change the clutch or anything (I'm not all that knowledgeable about cars, but I want to learn)
Then learn. Please go back and re-read this entire thread, and then look at your truck some more.
First, you're thinking completely backwards:

when I looked underneath the truck I saw a spring that was attached to the device connected to the clutch but nothing else was attached to the spring. The clutch moves the device but I couldn't find where the spring may have been attached before.
The clutch doesn't move "the device". That device IS the clutch (actually, it's the clutch release arm or "fork"). The clutch doesn't move anything at all. I think what you're calling the "clutch" is actually the cable end. The cable moves "the device" (the clutch fork)
That spring attached to the clutch fork is normally attached to the transmission housing. There should be a tab with a small hole in it, and the tab is held on by one of the case bolts. The spring should hook through the small hole, but your spring's hook may have broken off. That's very common. You may be able to find another spring at a salvage yard. As long as it will hook at both ends with no slack, you should be fine. It doesn't have to be a Chevy LUV spring. And, this is not what's causing your problem.
