That yellow Dodge is a modified 71 Chevy truck. It was featured in 3 different magazines and drove "Long Haul" on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2001. The truck has a big block 502 with a Ram Jet TPI setup on it. The owner built the front end grille and the dash out of van parts. (that is a little off from my idea, but the undercarriage is outstanding in my mind. The rear axle is a shortened one with dual wheels on it. I kind of like the way he ran the exhaust outside the frame and eliminated the need to go through the crossmember support. That made the side exit very clean and there was no exhaust pipes hanging under the frame. Everyone to their own taste, the truck looked and sounded great in Elk City, OK. The guy was knocking down 18+ MPG with it and could eat up some asphalt real fast.
