Truck stalling while under power.
While driveing to work one morning I shifted into 3rd gear let the clutch out gave it gas like normal when suddenly the engine cut out for a second the truck slowed down then kicked back on and took off, it drove normal for a while then it did it again. On the way home it happened again but didn't recover so I shifted out of 3rd and into 4th then it recovered drove fine the rest of the way home. I tried driveing it yesterday now I can't shift out of 1st before it just stalls out. if it helps any my truck is a 95 f150 5.0l with efi, 5 speed, 4x4. The transmission is a reman with maybe 300 miles on it so I know it's not a transmission issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

Fuel or spark come to mind. Pull a plug and check the spark. For that matter how old are the ignition pieces? Same for the fuel filter? What other work has been done to it recently? Any Check Engine Light? Check for codes. Many times there can be stored error codes without turning on the CEL.

+1 on the fuel filter. The fuel seems to flow okay at low RPMs but if a lot of gas is needed all at once, that flow gets clogged. Either the filter or you have a load of crap in the tank, clogging the "sock" under pressure.

I guess all the time seems to happen more when it's hot. Had to have the TPS replaced a month or so after I got the truck.

You have both. Electronic Fuel injection (EFI) & a Thick Film Ignition (TFI) System. For a 95' it (the TFI Module) should be mounted on the driverside fenderwell & will be black. Here's a diagram on this link. Ford Fuel Injection Setting the timing

As it could also be your PIP sensor (stator)
Ford Fuel Injection Stator (RPM)
You can also take your TFI module in to have bench checked, & as Cski also mentioned, you need to rule out fuel by testing for too.

Do Error code scans before replacing anything. One of these, Equus Innova 3145 OBD-I Ford Scan Tool or it can also be done manually Ford Fuel Injection How To Run a Self-Test

If there are no codes my bet is on the PIP.
