Interesting hot rod, but not very aero. Taking 12" out of the roof and laying the windshield back helps reduce frontal area but I would bet that a similar truck with the roof chop, grill block, air dam and a tonneau on an otherwise stock body would beat him hands down at highway speed. Perhaps he does mostly city driving where the weight reduction is more important than good aerodynamics. It would be cool to see a what a chopped VW diesel truck with the full aero treatment (like Phil's) and proper gearing could do for highway mpg.
