I had a 75 Chev 1/2 ton pickup with the 250 6 cylinder in it. It started doing something very simular to what you describe what yours is doing except it didn't have the serious drop in oil pressure. After changing the fuel pump for the second time, I realized that the hoses on the fuel line were dry rotted and allowing air into the system thus keeping it from pumping the proper amount of fuel to the carburator to run. After replacing all the rubber hoses on the fuel line I never had another problem with it running bad and trying to starve out or die. You may want to give the fuel lines an inspection. Don't know if this is the problem but it might be worth looking into. That old truck is still sitting in the pasture and has had some parts robbed off of it to keep a few other vehicles that were needed to be kept going. I am sure that if I put it back together that it would still run good and get about 17 miles to the gallon of gasoline like it used to.

Hope this will be of some help.
