A blond coctail conjurur and something else. Now being the sweet old guy I am I would nearly say she is teasing us, That profile could shore get some imaginations going.
I'm sure glad I'm nearly too old for that. lol

Lol, Tom, you need to come over to OBN more often, she had that siggy on there from the get-go. The moment she said her sig here is gonna be useless as far as truck ID goes I had the gut feeling what she'll put in there, and sure enough! Gotta give it to her tho, she is rather creative 
Can't really imagine her as a bouncer tho, not with that description in the other thread... Unless she's a ninja or something, which she very well may be - these days one never knows where ninjas can be hiding, for all we know they are in plain sight right here among us, just waiting for the right moment to strike!
And Star, "bimbo" does not necessarily mean she's blond, not according to the dictionary at least. I personally think she has pink hair, that will go very well with her black truck

Nah she said she was blond, and in her first post she said she was goooood looking. I have no reason to belive she is not telling the truth, more like have proof that she is. lol
I would bet she makes gooood tips at her day job, with her personality too.

Oh yes, personality makes all the difference in that kinda environment, looks count a lot too but it's the personality that wins regular clientele - which makes me wonder why customers always wanted to talk to me when I was at my desk job years ago, they must have just not known any better, lol

I like the compressor idea... though, a second alternator would be nice for redundancy. I know the alts on these trucks are pretty good, but things tend to fail when you are 100 miles from civilization. A second alternator would be nice, especially in a commercial setting where time is money.

Running headlights, heater and trailer lighting? Electric brakes, hydro assist, creature comforts? A second alternator would allow you to keep going without having to ever stop. Just sayin.

You could just wire both alternators in "parallel"... Meaning, just have both of them running all the time and wired the same. All you have to do is run B+ to the battery and run the exciter wire from the original alt to the second one. That'll distribute the load to each alternator equally and, if necessary one alternator can automatically pick up the load should one alternator fail or the belt break. And if you are fabricating a bracket, you don't necessarily have to use the Ford alternator. You could run a smaller European or Japanese alternator so long as the belt fits in the pulley. You could get a tiny 60 amp from an old BMW to run as your secondary and still have room for a compressor, I bet. Just make sure the rotational direction is the same. In fact, if you really wanted to get fancy with your bracket fabrication, you could probably run a full size Ford alternator and a compressor. There's plenty of room in that area of the engine bay.
