Default 1988 f150 idles but stalls when going down the road

I was just wondering if anyone knew why my 1988 f150 with the 302 idles fine, but when going down the road stalls out. It continues to idle fine. Any ideas?

Probably have low fuel pressure. Enough to idle but when demand is higher at higher engine speeds there isn't enough fuel to keep it running. You should do a fuel pressure test.
