Yup, it's the alternator. I know a guy who has some spare ones...if I can get him to let go of one. 
Wait, now that I think about it, I did contribute one parts truck to the lot, so one of those should be mine anyway! LOL.
Bill, you can just take it off what you owe me.

Add me to that list. I was thinking about this last night the whole time I was out washing the grime off the truck. Mine is just an old work truck, but it's still one of the best trucks ever built in my opinion.

Not quite. 
haha.
I know, right? They would probably sell pretty good if you had a decent design!
haha.

I like it! But the only part I don't like is the flatbed dually, which the large majority of us do not have. I tried to find a sketch similar to that one of a regular fleet truck, but all I could find was this picture, so I went with it...I really like the picture...it reminds me of something...LOL!

I like it! Reminds me of something too, but the mirrors are wrong.
I it would be cool to use a larger font (thin lines don't tend to work well with screen printing) and then have the font and picture both distressed to look old and worn Kind of like the picture is already. One thing I'm not sure if is using the Ford logo on something you intend to have printed and sell. I think that's technically a copyright violation. You might get away with it depending on who does the printing though.

True about the copyright...not sure how that would work, but I'd say if they'd print it, it'd be ok. I'm sure someone could come up with something better, but here's what they'd look like:

Quote for 10 Large and 10 XL is $12.26 each. They'd have to be white unless the design was changed...when you change the color, the background of the truck and ford emblem is hollow and changes to the color of the shirt, unless it was redesigned. Not a bad price though for a custom shirt. I think that included shipping to my location too.
Maybe someone can design one better and all the OBS guys can get one...that would be funny...we all have the same shirts to wear around at RRE. Like a badge of honor! LOL.
