I've just bought one for the wife's car. She has the 8gb Nano. Choose one that plugs in to the cigaret plug. The others that only plugs into the I-Pod start to fade when the battery goes down. This is the one I bought and it works well. You should get it cheaper on Ebay I think.

If your using it in a truck I am guessing that you are doing a fair distance, that being the case you will have to retune the frequency fairly often and this becomes a pain. (unless anyone has found a frequency that works) If you go abroad it seems to work fine as I guess the population is less dense and therefore have less local radio.
I am now thinking about one of those cassette thingies with the cable unless anyone has a better suggestion how to hard wire it to the stereo.

IMO the cassette converters is better as you can still hear the traffic news on the car music machine 
I'd also recommend a cigarette powered one as they can eat batteries, and it's quite expensive unless you use rechargeable ones, and they go flat even quicker

I use the Kensington RDS FM Transmitter
It uses the RDS system to scroll the track info across the front of the car stereo. When I bought it it was £50 - i see that it's down to £20 on amazon.
It also charges the iPod as you use it.
Sound is excellent.
Have you got 12v in your lorry? - I thought they were 24v
