Flickering Cab Lights

Last night, for no apparent reason, all the lights in the cab started to slightly flicker. The battery meter on the dash was also bouncing back and worth. It would do all this during low RPMs. I'm thinking alternator, but I need smarter advice.

It's 95 F-150, 81,000 miles.

Thanks

Have the altenator checked at a parts store. Problem also could be the voltage regulator.
