I have heard the gauges used in the trucks were not always accurate,you might want to check oil pressure with a mechanical gauge off the engine and see what it is,I had a 78 460 that would read low oil pressure after warmed up, I put a oil pressure gauge on the engine and pressure was within specification.Are their high miles on the engine.
