Oil pressure fluctuation

I know the oil pressure gauge on thee trucks (1990 5.0 L) cannot be trusted, but here is my problem. Whenever I start the truck, the gauge never goes to the same place. It is always in the normal range but nevber at the same spot. The engine always works and sound good. Is this a cause for concern?

Your best bet would be pick up a good mechanical guage from the parts store, A lot more accurate than the factory one.
