sluggish 4WD B3000

My 95 B3000 pickup is very sluggish, has been the whole time I have owned it (roughly 5 years)
I have to practically redline it when making turns, or starting from a dead stop, to get it up to speed. Additionally, at speeds above 45mph or so I have to floor it just to keep it moving. Even the slightest incline slows it down and I have to drop it back a gear or two. It struggles to keep at speeds above 65. 75 is torture.

anyone have any ideas why this is?

It's a manual 4wd, if that has any bearing.
