Creakin noise when it is in drive??

Ok i jsut bought my 2000 lightning last week.. and recently i have noticed that there is a creakin noise that only happens for a few seconds when i give it some gas in drive..not in reverse just drive.
the noise seems to be coming from in front of the dash on the passenger side only. i dout anyone can help with the stupid detail i have given but its worth a shot:P

And are there any grease nipples that i should be greasing to c if that may be the problem?

Welcome ! It could be any number of things. As for original parts, there's 2)zerk fittings on the idler arm. The other joints can be greased by "carefully" piercing the boots with a injector needle grease gun fitting. You can spray WD-40 on the bushings a few at a time to try to isolate the problem as you examine them. Lay under the truck and see if all of the cab bushings are showing a similar number of threads protruding. There's one near that passenger's side firewall.
