Welcome to the site.
This is actually an engine only topic not a 73-79 truck topic.
FTE is huge and has engine forums for engine related topics.
Maybe a Moderator will move this to the 385 engine series forum for you?
Also, may I direct your attention to post #1 of this thread.

Regarding the actual topic of Oil pressure (not in title of thread)...Your cam & crank bearings are worn out.
As the engine increases in temp the automatic action is for metal to expand.
This expansion (of the bearings) causes oil pressure to drop because there is more space between the bearings and the journals.
