Default Help me decode my 1996 dodge ram

my vin is 1B7HC16ZXTS695392 , i did some research and i cant verify if my truck is a Indy 500 or not.. any help or tips on finding out which model my truck is would be great! thanks.


i also have video of me taking it down the track and running bone stock with plenum problem 16.394 in the 1/4th mile at 83 mph with a horrible 2.3 60 foot if anyone cares to see it!

Your best way of knowing is to go to the Dodge website and request a build sheet.
