Speedo problems rough running

I am haveing trouble with my speedo reporting i am going 45 - 50 mile per hour but i am going 65 or better. according to people who have followed me. When this started i was having problems with the VSS. The truck was bucking real bad at this time. I Pulled codes and got the vss code. So i replaced it, now no vss code but the truck still bucks and speedo is reporting wrong speed. I have replaced the vss, map,tps,cts,act,o2 sensors. Plus i replace plugs, and fuel pressure regulator. This truck is a 1990 f250 5.8l 5 speed 4x4. If i can't solve this i am considering converting it to a carburator.
