94 f150 acceleration problem

Okay so for a good while now my truck has been having a problem with acceleration. If I go to accelerate quickly from a stop the entire truck will shake very violently while going practically no where and will not stop shaking until I let my foot off of the gas and then very slowly ease back onto it. Another thing that I believe is related to the same issue is that let's say I'm at 20mph. If I go to accelerate from 20 to 50, it will accelerate at the same speed whether I floor it or slowly ease onto the gas. I don't know too much about vehicles. My dad says that it probably has something to do with the amount of fuel that is being let into the engine but he isn't sure. Any help is appreciated. Thank you all so much.

I dont have an rpm gauge but from listening to it, it sounds like it goes back to idle just fine. But for some reason when I start the truck and it idles, it spits and sputters but the moment I put it into drive and start driving, it won't spit and sputter anymore until I turn it off

With the further info about spits and sputters I would check for vacuum leaks . SOME trans had a vacuum modulator on the side of the box which could fail or the vac hose could leak / come off . Might / might not apply to your vehicle. With " the entire truck will shake very violently " I would be checking the engine mounts and driveshaft , plus centre mount . Another thing you could check would be the ignition timing .
