How does it take throttle when it's not in gear? If it is still revving all right, you can probably eliminate a fuel problem.
You may want to check the timing. Sometimes an engine will run fine without a load, but will act up under load if the timing is out of whack, causing a dip in horsepower; if it's enough out of whack, it can cause stalling.
It could also be a brake problem. If the emergency brake cable is adjusted too short, the shoes will drag in the drum (I'm assuming you have rear drums), and when you have it in gear attempting to move, the engine has to compensate for the extra drag, causing it to stall under low rpms. Then again, one of the springs that hold the shoes around the spindle could be stretched or broken, causing the shoe to ride the inside of the drum when the brakes are not engaged as well. (That should only happen in one direction though; do you have the same problem in reverse?)
If the problem was with the transmission or the rear axle, I would suspect you would have some noise to go along with your stalling problem.
