OK, Here is the symptoms my truck starts right up and idle's at 1200 RPM and idle's just fine with no fluctuation. While it is still in Park I press the gas pedal and it rev's just fine I am able to hit 4k+ RPM.
It is the same way in neutral runs good sounds strong.

BUT when I put it in either Reverse or Drive/OverDrive, I press the gas and it acts like it wants to stall out. But it doesn't stall out, it just stops accelerating just rumbles really low. Then soon as I let go of the gas it goes back to idling fine. I can drive the truck around the neighborhood while just barely giving it gas not to exceed 2k RPM and 25 MPH it seems.

I was told to try replace/repair a few things so I did.

Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Ignition Coil
Throttle Air Bypass Valve
O2 Sensor
Catalytic Converter
Muffler
Distributor Cap
Cap Ignition Rotor
 






Torque converter? And welcome to the site.
 






throwing parts at something is never a good idea, you need to diagnose the problem, and then replace the parts that are actually causing the problem. I have gone through and made educated guesses that have led me to replace pretty much all the parts you just mentioned to fix a problem i've been having that followed me from my 2.9 through to my 4.0 that I swapped in. Your money would be well spent in setting your timing, and checking fuel pressure, both of which need a reasonably inexpensive tool. It does seem to me that your transmission is playing a part in your difficulties, is there anything else at all that your transmission does, slip etc? When did this problem start? how does the fluid look?
