Sure hope so
I just bought a part struck same exact truck with a 150000 miles on it and I'm terrified I might have hurt it. I Couldn't see the buttons on the scanner and accidentally hit clear codes and it immediately died

Some of these trucks are sensitive like that. My buddy had an 02 like mine and I killed it that way as a prank. His look of terror made me feel guilty. Mine is fine under same conditions. Maybe since mine has ferrite beads on the chip cuz of HIDs. 
Your truck will be fine.
Any codes come back? P1000 is normal after clearing the codes.

As others said you are fine.
These trucks are tough and have "old tech" in them which is nowhere near the sensitivity of trucks today.
Even the truck had stalled it would restart fine.
Just don't have a smog check done any time soon so that the readiness checks can complete their cycle.

Things do get nasty under the dash over time (how many people clean under the dash besides the floor?).
Over time the throttle response sensor (I think that's what it's called) and/or connector gets dirty and sometimes a good cleaning will clear things up.
If you do not have adjustable pedals then you can buy a new sensor pretty cheap and replace it. If you have adjustable pedals it cannot be replaced so you have to buy the whole pedal assembly which is $$$.
Here's an old thread for more help/info: 2002 7.3 Throttle Response Problems - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)
It's for a 2002 but should be similar for the 99-01 trucks.
