I finally had to replace my clutch for the first time at 1.05 million miles. It was not worn down, a spring broke from fatigue and was rolling around inside it.
I went with a new eaton 1850 clutch and complete clutch install kit, new inputs shaft, bushings, etc.
While i was at it, i also replaced the flywheel housing gasket, rerar main enigne seal, rear motor mounts, fuel tank straps, and other nick-nacks.
I would also recommend, if they have more than 500k miles on them, replacing ALL of the u-joints for both drive shafts, front and rear + carrier bearing while the tranny was out and everything apart. Check shaft end play on the differentials, and have the top plate pulled + a thorough inspection done to the tranny.
Also replacing the clutch brake with a 2-piece style brake of some decent quality.

I'd do everything Rawze said plus...
Alot of guys will probably disagree with me, but if the truck has more than 750k miles on it, and the transmission hasn't been touched, I'd have a bearing kit installed in the transmission.

Unless your hauling heavy or running high horsepower, you cannot go wrong with the easypedal.
Make sure you get the install kit, cross shafts etc and like Rawze said.... while it's out, easy to do the rear main seal...... hard when tranny is in.

Easypedal in mine, very nice. And take care of everything you can afford to under there when the transmission is out.
