0 oil pressure??

ok this seemed to start last night, truck wasnt running all that well.. when it was in park it ran fine, about 30psi (no numbers just lines, ) oil pressure.. as soon as i would put it in drive oil pressure would drop to 0-15psi, when i was driving it would go back up to 15-30psi, but when i would come to a stop it would drop to almost 0 again. Also when i would come to a stop, RPMs would drop and truck would try to die. I limped it home...

Today i had to take my wife to work and daughter to school.. starts up and runs fine, oil pressure seems a bit higher, still dropped to about 0 when i put it in gear.. truck ran fine all day (drove it around town for about 4hrs) didnt try to die, idled fine in gear... later in the morning the Psi quit dropping, but didnt get much more than 20-30psi.

It has always run between 30-60.. depending if i was idling or doing 45+... now it wont get about 30psi.. any ideas? what is considered normal? does she need to be put out to pasture?
