Car began to lose power while on freeway then stopped

The car started to lose power while I was driving down the freeway. I'd press the gas pedal almost to the floor, but it wouldn't go any faster. It eventually got back up to 60. I got off the freeway and while driving down the road at 35, the battery light came on and the car stopped while I was driving. Now it starts for about 10 seconds, but the cuts off.

Sounds like the alternator is going bad and killing the battery.

An easy thing to check first is your air filter. If it is clogged, it can cause that problem. I speak from experience. Had the exact same thing happen with an '85 Oldsmobile.

No speed when gas pedal is to floor tranny light came on

With the oil light coming on and the brake pedal being hard to press I would say that the engine stopped hence no vacuum -no power assist from the booster.- hard brake pedal. The lock uo feeling may come from the engine seizing up while you were still in gear

You could have a dirty Fuel Filter, try changing that first since it's the easiest and cheapest to do. You'll find the filter i believe on the inside if the frame under the drivers area. The only other thing i can think of is a fuel Pump going bad and not producing enough fuel pressure.
Best thing, start with the fuel filter and get the truck scanned for any DTC codes.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Car loses power while driving and jerks while it's trying to accelerate but cannot,as I press pedall to the floor.Completely slows to a crawl on the freeway and almost stops but engine does not die.Then...

if you don't have a gas cap on the car or if it is on too loosely then that is a possibility. Only other thing I could think of would be water in your fuel. You may try a bottle of "heat" (I think that is how you spell it) at your local auto parts store and chunk it in the gas can. if there were any problems with water that should be the cure.
