Try a new fuel filter and check your fuel pump output before you head to the tranny shop. I had a '92 F-150 5.0 that acted the same way. Would do fine on the flats and downhills, but would hardly make it up a hill at any speed. The transmission kickdown would engage, the motor would speed up, but the truck would slow down! A new fuel filter fixed it right up.

Check your transmission fluid.......and see if it's a dark color. Sure sounds like somethings slipping in the transmission......might just change the fluid and filter and see if that helps....
