Default F250 rough idle and stall

I have a 90 f250 with the 5.8 351. I have a proble of a rough idle and or stall when it gets warm. It has a new iacv and new wires and plugs and cap. Any ideas as to why it would do that. It's a old farm truck with 84 thousand miles on it. Any vacume lines I should check. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Might you have water or other contaminants in the fuel?

Those engines had more vacuum controlled components than you could shake a stick at.
Try isolating them except for the fuel pressure regulator. The tomato soup can often developed a vacuum leak, don't forget to plug that hose and see if any change.
The coolant sensor allows a richer mixture when cold , is it working properly when warm?
If you can , might be a good idea to get hold of a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure. You could have a fuel pump getting tired.
