1989 f-150

So this will most likely sound like a dumb question to most of you.
However, I shall ask it anyways. I drive a 1989 f150 5spd manual. Where i park is on somewhat of a slant, and i always back into my parking space. When i'm backing in though, letting the clutch out all the way would throw me into the cinder-block wall behind me. On the other hand, when i don't, i just feel like i'm roasting the clutch because of the incline. Am I actually roasting the clutch? Or just paranoid. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I know nothing about your year truck but IMO it's just paranoia. You wear away clutch material every time you reengage from a stop or shift.

If you're having to rev the **** out of it just to back it up the hill then maybe. However if it's taking a lot your clutch might be ready to be replaced anyways. Get one that grabs harder.

You'll smell it if you're overheating the clutch.

Mmmm, that burnt clutch smell. Lol. You should be fine, unless it takes you 5 minutes to back into your spot while slipping your clutch.
