Thank you for so many useful replies and suggestions. I know this is a knowledgeable and supportive community.
Regarding finding used transmission jack stand. Maybe in the future. Currently there is no place where this work could be done, truck sits on older uneven gravel overgrown with grass, no garage, no concrete pad. Given that and with my condition it is an overestimate that I would accomplish myself removing all required driveline parts and put them back properly. Paying to the shop to do it out of budget now.
Therefore will let the truck sit, perhaps overwinter in preservation mode, while I explore options how to make something makeshift, cheap, maybe ugly, just make truck moving somewhat. Like a bracket applied in place.
I still plan to keep the truck, even as non-running vehicle, for a while.
PS. Yes I believe the transmission is T19. The first, factory original clutch served 20 years. The second, current clutch, still works. I don't know is it stiff or not, since I don't recall how the previous was to compare.
