I figured he was running 6.16 according to his passenger window. None the less that's a bad ass truck, but not a big fan of gutting but I realize you need to to run those times. I seen last year at my local track a 1995 Dakota with a 440bb running 6.50 flat and he was destroying his rivals.
Wonder where he got that fiberglass bumper from: I'm interested in that. I need one.
Looks like a OEM bumper to me...
Just like this one...
