I would say your key on power is bad. When the vehicle stalled, that left power to the dizzy and coil. That leaves a few culprits;
1) The key on power circuit may be damaged, wire burned or feed circuit issue.
2) The coil is actually damaged, but works in the start position only.
3) Same for the dizzy.
Here are a couple of steps to take now;
1) If you can, measure the voltage at the coil with the key on, I believe it should be about 9V DC.
2) A second test if you don't have e a meter, turn the key to on. .are sure truck is in park auto, or nuetral brake on standard. Jump the solenoid and see if you have spark since you already know that you have spark while starting.
Just some things to try.
