Don't forget the Hoosier Racing decal in the back glass. Nothin says Hick like dirt track racing. Believe me, I'm a dirt racin hick myself.
As long as you're making home made bumpers, go with some step bars to match.

Don't forget the horns on the hood. How about one of those way cool "air deflectors" that mount on the hood as well (you know, the ones truckers used to put their "handles" on way back in the 70s. Better yet, rent Footloose and take a gander at the truck for inspiration-YEE-HAW.

Well, you have to rig up some kind of fuel injection into the tailpipes so you could shoot flames, or at least mess with the timing to make it backfire, chain link steering wheel, tie a 10pt. buck to the hood, naked lady air freshner. Just take a look at the JC Whitney catalog.

im tellin you guys all you need is an 85 f-150 2wd sh&t brown in color with a i-6 and 4 on the floor. then you got the bud light(personal pref) shifter handle. the rubber floor mat instead of carpeting and rotted out floors.then you weld a fat can onto the botom of a 6 inch semi stack and run it high as you can. plus you have to use flex pipe to the motor then last but not least you have to convert your windsheild washer box to a bleach injection box and run lines to your tires...............boy that was the best truck i ever owned just my little piece. and ohh btw that truck never failed and always worked hard even when i was burnin the tires down to the steel belts

In the cab, a homemade cupholder for those 64-ounce cups, CB radio with a 102" CB whip topped with a coon tail, and a bedsheet for a seat cover (duck-taped so it doesn't fly around when the windows are down). Velcro to attach the CD player and extra heater to the dash. A 55-gallon drum as a spare gas tank, painted yet another highly contrasting color.
Engine chromed out and beefed up, and straight pipes that run along the sides. Front wheels should be stock steel, and the rear wheels could be rusted chrome mags, or vice versa. Homemade front bumper made with 3 inch steel tubing, filled with concrete and capped on both ends. Brush guard made with rebar and welded to the bumper. Huge KC lights all the way across the front, mounted to the bumper. Couldn't hurt to have a roll bar with more KC lights.
That truck would just SCREAM "HICK"!

looks like you are leanin towards red neck. Too bad if you'd a gone hick you could sell off major body parts (like fenders and hoods) to finance the rest of the transformation. Or even fit in a DVD player with lots of cables strewn all over the place.

See, we NY'ers think everyone outside of manhatten is a redneck/hick.
