    Clutch to the floor won't hurt anything as long as the truck isn't moving. The clutch brake is only designed to stop the rotational mass of the clutch discs and gears. Its definitely not up to the task of holding even just an empty bobtail. What usually happens is the 2 little tabs that spline the clutch brake to the input shaft break off and render the brake useless.
