Have someone who knows what they're doing check your catalytic converters- if they get plugged up it bogs the engine down and affects performance as well as fuel economy. Also check your fuel pressure- those trucks are notorious for the fuel pumps going out.
Check EGR, vacuum hose leaking, ignition control module inside the distributor cap, or fuel injection.
You can buy GM OBD I code scanner from auto store for about 30 bucks to see what is error code
I would look at the timing belt if it's never been replaced. Sounds like it is having issues under a load or the tensioner isn't working properly. Another possible issue could be a vacum component that isn't functioning properly until the engine and transmission get wormed up.
Not at all a camero, but ok...
is the check engine on?
does it start better if your pressing on the gas peddle?
does it start right away with starting fluid?
