O

work trucks never die.
When they start looking
rough, their owners just fix the
dings and dents, put on fresh
paint, install new accessories, and
keep on truckin'.
If you don't believe us, ask Mike
Dickens at KFM Striping & Asphalt
Technologies (kfmstriping.com),
in Phoenix, AZ. The company has
been in business for 30 years and
this '92 Ram D250 Extended Cab
4x4 has been in the
fleet for 21 of those
years.
Dickens says he just refurbished the old Ram using the
products and information he's
seen in ProPickup to put together
a "great work truck that doubles
as a ranch truck from time to
time."
"I painted it mat white, put on
a custom wrap to match the rest
of our fleet, installed an RDS die-
sel tank/tool box in the bed, and
swapped out the bumpers for
Buckstop's, added a Go Industries
headache rack, and put on Toyo
Open Country tires.
"The front bumper packs plenty of pull from the Warn winch,
and I put PIAA work and running
lights in it and [PIAA] work lights

"The interior is still in good
shape and the low-back seats
keep you from losing your hard
hat or cowboy hat while on a
drive," says Dickens. "There isn't
a whole lot this old dog can't do
and every ranch hand in town
wants to buy it."
