no, the clutch doesnt make a difference on the vibration.
i had the flywheel resurfaed and i replaced all the bearings.
it only does it at low spees.

How long did the truck sit while you were getting this work done?
Im asking that because when my 98 sits like 5 days it will do what your describing, it will eventually stop.
