Warning lights came on suddenly.

Hello
I have a 1990 pick-up 3.0 V-6 A/T. While driving home today my "brake", "battery", and "A/T oil temp." lights came on. There was no other ill effects to this. Idle was fine, truck ran great. Got home and checked fluids and they are all fine. I did a search for this type of problem and I found a post that this may be the sign of a bad alternator. Can anyone confirm or refute? My voltage gauge was reading fine with no big drops when I used my turn signals. Thank you in advance for your help.
