Did I lose fifth gear?

Ok so I was driving and truck seemed fine. Then next time I go through the gears, I hit fifth let clutch out, give it gas and it just revs up like I missed the gear. So I go to put it back in fifth and nothing! It wont go into fifth gear at all!!?

So my question is, did fifth gear go out, or did the shift fork come out of wack or get stuck or something? I saw other guys saying when they lost fifth it would go in gear, just it didnt do anything? Thats why I was thinking maybe something else?

All other gears seem to be fine. Clutch is fine.

Please help guys. Anything is appriciated!!

Thanks, Travis
