I was just blowing the cobwebs out of my cranial storage and the talk of electric fuel pumps set a pointer that lead to our '73 Vega Z-29 (not all that different than vanilla).
It had an electric in tank fuel pump. It also had a relay that was connected to the start or ignition circuit and a lube oil pressure switch. This caused the pump to run during start up, but shut it down if it lost lube oil pressure. (The later was a very good plan - if you remember the Vega motor.)
We need to find (or maybe build) that pump control for GMCs with electric fuel pumps. I don't even have any idea where to look for a GM part number. I would not bet that it is even still available, but the maybe out of the rust belt there are some surviving examples.
