I have a 91 hardbody. Cold start, the oil light stays on. I restart and is fine. What needs to be done? Oil pump?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, if normal replace the oil pressure switch. If abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearings. If pressure is good, replace the oil pressure switch.
