You're probably right, but the comment that it happened when resuming speed from a slow crawl was what put the question in my mind.

Accelerator pump, proper jetting, and plugging of the fuel line or vapor lock would probably be good things to check. Also, any garbage in the bottom of the tanks that might lift into pickups and cause lean situations.
