No headlights!!!!
I have to go to work on Monday, so I need this fixed ASAP. My alternator went out Christmas eve so I bought a new one and replaced it. 3 nights ago my wife and I were going down a gravel road when my lights just went out. Drove it home and found a blown headlight fuse (i guess it's a headlight fuse, pic posted below) replaced the fuse but nothing. I bought a used relay and replaced that but still no lights. I checked the fuse again it was blown again. Now every time I put in a new fuse it blows. What my problem?! The fuse that blows is at the bottom right (the empty slot at the bottom right)

Lower right fuse it typically the Haz-Horn fuse:

The middle two are the right and left side headlights.

If it is the Hazard-Horn fuse that is blowing, then it has nothing to do w/ the headlights. The headlight fuses would only kill one headlight or the other if one fuse blew out. Any chance of a trailer wiring plug on the truck? If so, not uncommon for those to cause problems, that fuse also works the turn signals.
Might check the headlight combo (dimmer) switch:

Where exactly was this voltage test done? If at the headlight connectors, you'll normally only see power (12 volts) at the common terminal. That voltage comes from the headlight relay via the left and right headlight fuses. Then the headlight dimmer switch provides the ground connection (0 volts so you will never measure any voltage on those terminals). So if you are missing the 12 volts, suspect the relay or fuses or wiring between those parts. If missing the ground connection, then suspect the wiring or headlight dimmer switch or the cab ground connection.
