What's the chain on the crossmember for?

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?

That's an '06 I posted, so a lot different, but some similarities too.

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