ok here is what all i have done and i think it is fixed - i really think what it boils down to for the stalling/falling on its face issue was old gas - what i did was put octane boost in the tank and i was able to drive it once it made it to the throttle body - i went ahead and ran some tests though and found some other issues

vaccum pressure was 17-18 psi running
fuel pressure was 10 psi running (ended up buying a tester)
i replaced the pcv valve
replaced several broken vaccum lines (test was ran after hoses were replaced)
i put about 3 gallons of 92 octane in the tank along with lucus fuel stabelizer
also had the battery tested ... it was ok
had the alternator tested ... it failed - replaced it
sprayed the throttle body with cleaner
changed the plugs

i really couldnt tell you where the real issue was - i do know the truck had been sitting for about 8 months with no new fuel put in it and in ohio weather which is cold and snowy right now - the only think i come out of this was probably there was bad fuel and the alternator needed replaced

thanks mt - all your advice and information is definitely appreciated
