Did you pull the dip stick and check to see if it had oil in it?
There's no reason that an LS1 would drop all it's oil pressure like that.

I'd take it back. On a wrecker or a trailer and ask them to reimburse the towing fee.

Id drive it as far as you can on it until it blows up. Then make them buy you a new engine.

You need to realize that OK is a "buyer beware" state.

Check oil level, also were there any mods recently done to the engine such cam swap or anything that involved removal of the oil pump?

It sounds very strange that it would have oil pressure and then just dissapear like that.
