truck feels as if it goes into neutral while driving then dies

What is your question?

when I first start 1992 ford ranger 3.0 v-6 and start driving out of neighborhood about 1/2 mile away truck feels as if it goes into neutral and wont go forward then it dies. After 5-7 minutes it restarts and does alright. This has happened 3 times in a row so I dont drive it far but within 5-10 miles seems to do fine any help would be greatly appriciated Thanks in advance
