Holy Smokes!!!(no pun intended). Really was close to your house, scary, the truck burning would have been the least of my worries. I hope you get a new ride soon. Any pics of what it looked like before? Just to compare the damage, my dad lives in Alabama and I have seen cars on the road there close to that condition.

Yep, they sure did. I called the Ford last month to see about getting it fixed and they told me that they were giving priority to the newer vehicles and that it would be 2 months before they could get to mine. I'm glad it didn't burn the house down. If the fire department had been just a few minutes later it would've been really bad. All that was in abou 6 minutes worth of burning. That's how fast it went up in smoke.

But you know, I would have been less upset if My '04 F-150 had burnt to the ground. But no, it HAD to be my Bronco.

Well, 73-79 pickups are all over the place around here but Broncos of any kind are hard to find. And I am a railroader. I'm a conductor for CSX. I run from Montgomery to Mobile/Pensacola. It's a fun job and I really enjoy it.
