thanks for the ok..

1) if you noticed, this was a very hot fire. the aluminum survival is extremely questionable.
2) everett/dragrag just bought the truck complete.

Aluminum starts getting gooey around 1225 degrees. Then it starts to drip and run... Then it just vanishes from where you last saw it... Really funny stuff to weld to... I can tig weld it but... You need to preheat it and no oils or crap can be in the welds.... Done right it looks great... Done wrong and the weld will look like a bird had the runs all over the place.....

Yup it was a hot one, there was a can of ether in the cab when it went up. I bet that was some fireball. I know the air box on the turbo was damaged on the fire for sure. I really don't know about the rest beyond the cast iron pipes which are fine. I will know more when I take it apart. Obviously only a parts truck, but it has some good stuff left on it for sure. At this point I do not plan on selling anything off of it. I need it for my junk really. If I do part anything from it, I will post.
