Don't worry, your truck should run again if it started afterwards. If you had flipped it and landed on the head and cracked it for example, it would not have started at all. A click could mean many things, like carb (loose, servo, linkage) broken mount causing clutch bell gear binding with main gear ...................................
Without the truck in front of someone a diagnosis cannot be made. Hope it goes well with your operation and hope you will be driving your truck soon.


Good Luck.

Check the clutch and make sure the spring is still on.
