What I'm left to start with.
Hey guys, Ford newbie here... I bought a Ford F250 4×4 XLT Lariat that caught fire in the engine bay for $800.00. I've attached some pics to give a visual. I'm planning to do the repairs myself and get this truck back on the road. It only has 107,000 miles on it. Once I get a new engine wiring harness, I'll start cleaning up the mess under the hood. I don't want to disturb too much because another guy started disassembling and that's going to make the job that much harder. If anyone has pics (of my model) with everything assembled in the hood I'd appreciate it, it would make reassembly allot easier. Any tips, pointers or advice would be appreciated as well.

Looks like they got the fire put out quickly. I see you've already been posting in "1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks" so you should be well on your way.

Welcome aboard!
