Yeah, the trac-bar/steering leave a bit to be desired.

The chain I have no idea, unless it's to try to counteract the torque of the motor or something like that - in which case it looks pretty weak.

Did he just bolt a Ford Body onto a Dodge Frame? It looks like it...

I don't like the look of the Trac Bar... Apart from that, pretty cool truck.

Don't Dodges have the front differential on the passenger side?

Chains are usually placed like that "just in case" the driver's motor mount breaks at high torque. It does nothing unless.
