Default 1995 Chevy Silverado 1500, 305 V8 Stalling

Engine Performance problem

'95 Chevy 305 V8
Truck idles in Park & Neutral just fine.
The truck cuts out and stalls after stopping.
Several things have been replaced.
Throttle Position Sensor
PCV Valve Distributor & Rotor
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs

We have checked everything simple so far. We are leaning toward the fuel pump but we want to check the pressure & pressure regulator. There is no way to check the pressure. There is one fuel line and a return line.
Can someone explain how you check the fuel pressure?
Surely there is some trick that the dealership or a technician does to check the fuel pressure?
I'm leaning towards cutting the rubber part of the fuel line and installing a "T" and connecting a fuel pressure hose/gauge to check and see whats going one before buying and changing the fuel pump.

Any tips?

Nate
