if you want the truck to last as near as possible to forever, look up a accusump system from moroso, by putting a tee fitting on the oil sender switch you next run a hose to the bottom of this small tank. if you put a ball valve on the tank inlet you can store oil under pressure to prelube the motor and or use about a quart less oil in the pan and the tank iis always putting pressure in the system to cover any chance of the pump not having oil there, racers use them all the time instead of a dry sump, they make a cheap one quart model and a priceier three quart type, had one for years on my 302 mustang and really helped , since you can run a bit less oil in the pan this way you should pick up some FE. many have noticed a gain from less oil in the pan, this way there is no risk as the tank is there, nothing better than preoiling your motor,
