Odd problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys! My truck has developed an interesting problem... Sometimes while I at driving down the road my fuel gauge will suddenly go to below empty, at which point my truck will suddenly start to idle super low. Its fine in the upper end, and I can't find any other electrical issues with the truck. Just that when I slow down, it'll idle at more like 450 RPM rather than the 600 or so I typically idle it at. Sometimes it'll slow down so much that it will stall. As soon as the fuel gauge goes back up to it's proper level the truck will suddenly idle exactly where it is suppost to. Should I suspect my distributer or is it another problem somewhere else in my electrical system?
