I've had this same problem twice before. It could possible be either the ecm or the crank angle sensor located under the distributor cap. It is black in color and half moon'sh shape. When they went bad for me it would be very hard to start and would smoke black when I accelerated. It was injecting way too much fuel. The spark plugs will probable be black if you checked them. I actually carry a spare one in my glove box. It is the thing with the 4 wire oval plug.

Are you able to drive the pickup?. Both times it happened to me it was almost undrivable, at least I wouldn't want to.

Sounds just like that angle sensor to me. You used to be able to find them on ebay. But I just looked and cannot find one. If you take your distributor apart it will havew a "j" number on it...like "J315" or something. Or just by a different distrib. that will come with the sensor.
