What is the build date of your truck? before or after 9/20/03 ? did your oil pressure drop to zero or was it still reading on the guage when it starts to die but still running?

I am thinking right now that your HPOP has died but lets make sure before you buy a new one. If you could get it scanned for ICP desired, ICP actuall, IPR duty cycle, it would tell you if there was a issue with the pump.
This could also be a high pressure oil leak but it is not too common on the earlier trucks, an air test can be used where you hook a air compressor hose to the high pressure oil system and listen for leaks, there is a fitting you can get to hook it up.
Still bet it is the HPOP.

I agree, probably the HPOP going out, get readings for the ICP like Bob suggested.

Wouldn't hurt to just double check the oil level in the engine too.
