Start up question

I have 1996 f150 2wd 302. Its starts up fine cold but once I drive it for a while it still starts every time but voltage gauge drops low to around 12.5v and rises back up slowly to about 13.98v . Can you point me in right direction. Thank You

It sounds like it is the starter itself, best thing to do is pull the starter and run it up to the parts store mainly either autozone or advance only because the have free testing on those particular parts.
