acceleration issue

ok well i just got the truck, i changed the plugs and wire....wasnt fun....ok the truck starts right up fine, idles fine, but i have absolutely no power, it will rev fine but soon as i release the clutch it wants to bog down.

Im going to replace the fuel filter here in the next day, but my conclusion is the cat converter.....agree, disagree.....

thanks for the help

I just checked your profile and see you have a 1993.
Just for ***** and giggles , jack up the front tires , one at a tme , and see if they are turning freely.You may have a stuck brake caliper , or two ,which would really make the engine bog trying to move it.
