| The Truck of the Month for February 2004 belongs
to Dick Keesey from Prattsburgh, NY. Dick is known as ford
man dick in the forums.
To view all the photos of Dick's truck, check out his

The truck is a black 1992 NITE
edition F-150. He purchased the truck in Buffalo, NY. The Nite package
was only available in 1991 & 1992 on the F-150 and Bronco. For more
information, check out our Nite
information page and talk about the Nite trucks in the Nite
edition forum.
From Dick:
Current Mods:
When I bought the truck it already had dual exhaust and 32" tires
on it. I really didn't like the way the exhaust was done on it and I wanted
it louder. I cut off the rear cat and added a jc whitney kit with some
chrome tips. I got clear corners and all clear tails off ebay for a good
deal and added them. I bought some 32" BFGoodrich AT tires off a
buddy that took them off cause he lifted his truck. When the exhaust I
had rotted off I completely changed it to true duals with 40 series flowmasters
and 3 1/2 x 22 stainless tips. I bought some bushwacker street series
fender flares and a black grille/bruch guard. While I was at carlise last
summer I got a full set of blackouts and a lund visor. Last semester up
to college I rebuilt the motor and painted it to match the theme of the
truck.
Future Mods:
In the future im gonna add a 2 1/2 inch lift to make it tall enough to
clear 33x12.5-15's on 15x10 rims the same syle as the stock rims. I wanna
get the white face piece for the ac heater control panel and some wet
oakles seat covers. I'm currently working on a mass air conversion so
I can build another better motor with some performance mods. I'm gonna
build the tranny cause I hate the way it is now. As for the outside of
the truck im gonna have it competely redone as soon as i find a set of
replacement stripes for it. I'm gonna replace both front fenders get a
new southern box to put on and a new rear bumper.
What other Fords do you own or have owned?
I still have my first truck, a 1987 F-150 4x4 longbox with a 300-6 and
a C6. I bought this truck when I was 16. I loved the truck but the ny
salt rotted it right away. Im redoing it when i have time. It too needs
a new box and front fenders along with some cab corners nd bumpers.
