1985 Ford F150 clutch won't disengage

I have a 1985 300 6 cylinder F150 and I recently replaced the clutch. After replacing the pressure plate, clutch pad, throwout bearing, and the slave and master cylinders, the clutch still won't disengage. We bled the cylinders, and still nothing happened. The slave cylinder extends against the release fork about one inch. I've included a picture of the slave cylinder with the clutch pedal depressed

I am slightly concerned where you mention it "STILL" does not disengage. Was this the ORIGINAL reason for the clutch replacement ??? I can tell that the clutch hydraulics are working as it has snapped the plastic retainer as it is supposed to do.
I am led to believe you have a clutch fork problem. Either it has gotten bent or the pivot assembly on which it mounts is out of adjustment giving it
the wrong pivot angle to the clutch plate.
I am thinking your Clutch fork is bent ... OR plan ol Defective clutch  :(
Good Luck
