I'd stick a mechanical gauge on it and check the pressure first. It could be the sender... Otherwise the symptoms suggest to me that it's likely a problem on the suction side of the pump. Either obstructed or leaking. As you say, if the bearings were really bad I would expect poor pressure at idle when it's warm. Beyond that... if you find that the bearings are bad when you open the pan up... I'd suggest going with a crate engine. You can doctor the bearings today and next week it'll be a head... then the rings... then a lifter. You obviously use it every day, a lot... so i can't imagine you want the downtime never mind the expense of various repairs. Drop a crate in it when the time comes and fix the problem.
