If the truck runs fine then, it's probably normal. If you are in gear when you're doing this, the torque converter is locking up and is not able to overpower the brakes. I wouldn't worry about it but, it's not real good for your motor mounts!

If you would want anymore stall you would have to put in a racing converter. Your not doing your truck any good doing this. Builds a lot of heat in the trans.
