there are some 3rd gen 2/3500's with v10's under the hood. however this was probably only for a year or two, 02-03 I believe untill the hemi became more popular.
the 8.0L V10 was available in the 2500s until 03 or 04 I believe, but no, never in the 1500. Either he did an engine swap (possible) or he bought the badge on ebay (likely).
