How hot would the thing have to get to mess with the integrety of the steel? (frame, engine components, etc) I'd guess the rear fenders could just be media blasted and epoxy primered and painted and be good as new.. same thing with the bed sides and tailgate.. bumpers.. grill.. lots of solid body parts, anyway. Somebody outta ask him, "So.. how's the bed wood?" an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

I actually believe from what I can see anything from the top of the bed down might be salvageable. So in my opion the frame problay is in pretty good shape. popcorn The Truth is Out There (Might be a better deal then what you guys are thinking oh I was head of fire investigation team for 14 yrs.)

The main heat of he fire was passenger side. Look at the driver mirror it is not hanging. Look at the bed I imagine the color was close to white or beige. The bumper looks good, if it had been a super heated fire the license plate would not look like it does. You still have standing tall rear tires. Intial fire and heat aprox 470 degrees maybe 535 not enough to weaken metal skin. Agree the hood is bowed in the middle but something could have fell there. What I really need is a picture of the interior then I could put the whole scenerio together. popcorn The Truth is Out There (H@@@ I think I'll bid on it I already got 54 parts in the garage that do not look that good!! Right Mr. Houston) LOL Pops
