I believe it's a tube chassis with a light weight chevy truck body over it.. Not exactly a "truck" in my book, but really quick..

Well you need to keep in mind that most of those videos are not posted by the person in them, so the "title" isn't a claim by Keating. It's the assumption or opinion of the "uploader".

Not knocking the dragster by any means but Keatings truck isn't very aerodynamic or light weight, and doesn't use nitrous. "drugs are bad, m'kay" So the fact it's that fast is as impressive as the dragster.

True, I was just pointing out that this isn't the fastest diesel, maybe the fastest diesel powered vehicle that still resembles a truck. It's probably closer to pro stock car than a street truck.
BTW, there have been fullsize CTD Rams deep in the 10's. This is street legal, stock body/frame truck.

That is a very impressive "truck", and yes the dragster ran 7.98 and if I remember right the sidewinder has hit 222mph so somewhere in here the definition of a truck is being blurred but either way I'm still impressed with it

That's nothing. My lawnmower could do that. (if it was pushed off a cliff while being towed by a rocket.)

Don't get me wrong, that's very impressive.. When I mentioned "truck", it wasn't to sound negative. I just feel a "truck" isn't a race chassis with a glass body..
