starting problems

1989 f-250,5.8liter.....was driving fine(a little hot)then acted like it wanted to die.Everytime i gave it gas it was "bogging" Out.After it died i waited a little and started.Right away i thought fuel filter.It died one more time on my way to get filter,then made it home.Replaced filter, ran fine until..had to pick up son and it died again 2wice?????then made it home.Tried to go to work and it wouldnt stay running.It was turning over like it wants to start but wont stay running after i take my hand off ignition.Bought and installed new plugs ,wires,cap,rotor still the same....wants to start(smell gas when trying to start it)any ideas thanx
