I picked this up the other day. This is what happens when a few kids got the idea that they wanted to have a bon fire.

This was kind of my thinking on the whole thing, but do you realize how long it would take to sand off all the rust!? I think I may just keep the bed, doors, and I just looked over it again and one fender doesn't look bad. I had been thinking half doors also. The only thing I'm worried about is the sheet metal being warped.

Shouldn't be a problem. Just spray it with rust coverter

lloks liek it was probably stolen and set on fire to remove evidence, its a very common thing in the auto world....

i sincerly hope you didnt have to pay for that.... its not worth much if anything....

I did have to pay some for it, but thats mainly because its about impossible to find a non-rusted bed in my area.

I guess the bed IS still good on it lol. those kids should be beaten severly and prosecuted to the fullest extent

I'm not sure what ended up happening to them cause it was on a rez and i dont have permission to access rez records. I did hear a rumor that they recieved 10 hrs. of community service, but again that was only a rumor.

I've seen a few rigs go up in flames at some of the mudfests ive been to. Needless to say I carry a fire extinguisher in my rig now lol....its funny to see someone running around with their rig on fire begging for one

i have been in a VW convertable bug pick it up from Macco 2 take back 2 the shop darn fuel injection likes cracked and the engine door blow off the rear flames shooting out the back Lucky a guy stoped and had a big ass extinguisher in his van bran-new paint/top customers car

What are your plans? I think you should have let it go! Because the metal in the front half is gonna be totally useless and not safe! Fire has a way of weakening metal! Maybe the rear axle would be worth it! But besides that, you may have wasted your $$

Just my

My 90 2wd ext-cab was stolen & burned. I never went to see it cause it ended up in the Redding area about 4 hrs from where I was living at the time $I\'m Down$

red · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 22, 2007, 01:56:30 PM »

man am i glad auto theft is not a big problem where i've lived!

sam2145871 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 23, 2007, 03:02:51 PM »

What metal exactly wouldn't be safe any more!? The only part of the frame that got burnt was about a foot of the very front and it just took the paint off. The rest of it still has paint on it. The fenders and doors dont't really have any safety features built into them at all. The bed only had paint burned off of it also.
