Oil pressure drops when driven??

1986 6.9 banks turbo.

Noticed on the way back from camping trip the oil pressure dropped to bottom of stock guage....but at idle it reads good. Engine sounds fine.

When I got home I did a oil/filter change and still same symptoms...

Anything above idle...no oil pressure
Idling.....has normal pressure.

any thoughts?

Mabey try and get a mechanical gauge hooked right up to where the sender goes and see what is really going on. you could just have an elec problem with the gauge.
