Check the gauge and sending unit first. If you still have the problem after that then I would look at the oil pump pickup screen being clogged. I just bought a 96 f150 for $600. It had the same problem. It would have oil pressure at idle but when you accelerated "briskly" it would drop to nothing and the lifters would start tapping. I pulled the pan and changed the pump and pickup and problem is gone and it runs great now. Can't beat a ford.
