I know the truck is twenty plus years old. When I turn it on, it seems to skip a little. When I get up to speed (sixty mph) and set cruise, truck seems to chug a bit like it is struggling. When I come to a traffic light, seems as if engine is going to stall. Has no problem getting back up to speed though. Thoughts? I have a brand new distributor I need to put in. Thought that could help the issue.

If check engine light is on scan for codes other wise check fuel pressure as 1995 is an odd ball year for scanning and you have to see if a mechanic can scan that because it is like obd1.5. then try cleaning throttle plate on both sides and IAC hole with choke cleaner. See link for fuel pressure.
