Thanks RunnerUp, I appreciate the links.

 

it not to bad all my trucks had matching interior blue on blue and now the light purple on light purple

 

That sucks man but hey it could have been worse:





Best of luck your homeowners should cover what your auto insurance doesnt that what i had to do.

 

mmm crispy

 

That hurts, I guess it definately could have been worse. How exactly did your runner catch fire like that?

 

Yea my arm, and face sure were thats what happens when you get severe 2nd degree burns causing you to get airlifted!! But fear not I survived just have some nasty scaring for life.

 

going down the interstate at about 65-70 the driveshaft broke off hit the gas tank and boom total loss

 

Check Ebay

 

i just skimmed your photos at first. cant really tel what was what you know! i thought you were referring to a propane job, as thats what i have and maybe you should invest in! so i edited my original post.

did you put it out yourself? thats deff somethng to try to claim on the ins as it is gonna be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Well, my dad says if we report the runner to insurance, they will total the truck, and my dad doesn't want to deal with salvage title, so i'm in trouble. does any one have any remote idea how much this will cost to fix? I was thinking 6k was a good max amount, but I have no idea.

 

so its just the cargo area that has the most damage ?

 

for 6 grand, you should try to find a dodor rig. something with lots of rust and a not so hot motor. maybe for 4000 or something (far fetched figure) and just rob peter to pay paul and part the rest to try to recoup some of your college savings

 

Yea, the cargo area is the worst, but I was thinking, I really don't need the "nice" looking trunk, so all I needed to fix is the wiring and the roof liner, which won't be too bad, but I will need to have the wiring professionally done

 

where you from ?

 

San Francisco Bay Area, how far are you from SF?

 

i cant remember the post but there is a guy here whos dad totaled his 97. he is parting it out. i think that might be a good bet.

 

long way ... just askin so every one knows where ur at may want to add that to ur profile

 

Getting the smoke smell out of the inside will be the worst, I think you would be best off finding a truck with a blown engine or trans or a wreck and using it for parts. Should be able to find one in decent shape for about 2k or less, use the parts you need and sell the rest of truck.

 

didnt read the whole post but he might have some stuff for you
