This truck has been in our family since it was purchased in Las Vegas Nevada in 2004, it is a 2005 Rumble Bee with the 5.7 Hemi and 3:91 gears. It is a blast to drive.
The truck originally belonged to my uncle who decided he was trading it in on a Jeep, I convinced my son to buy it from him instead of trading it in..
Well fast forward to 2020 and my son passed away right around thanksgiving. The truck had all original suspension, bad paint, front bumper was stolen. Interior was beat down. The Rumble Bee front bumpers and covers are ridiculously hard to find and expensive as well.

When I took the Dart to the paint shop I asked them to paint the truck as well. Here is where we are today.
Happy New Year All!
By the way it is 90 degrees today in South Texas!

Condolences to you and yours, truck looks great.
 
It really does Rumble too, it has headers with a true dual exhaust with some flowmaster 40's actually has quite a bark..
 
Sorry for your loss.

Good looking truck, I had a new in box bumper cover for one of those, it fell out of the back of a pick up on the highway in front of me about 10 years ago, couldn't get a plate number at the time. I kept it in my shed for a couple years, before finally selling it.
