san diego fire takes cheyenne
this really hurts, I saw a pic of this truck when he was selling it, it was amazing, very beautiful C20 Cheyenne. This guy lives here in San Diego, I bought my truck from him a few years ago. He and his family are fine, the fire didn't reach his house but it did get his garage thats about 100 feet away. poor thing.

That is terrible! I'm not so sure it could be saved. Looks like it warped pretty bad.

I'd like to shake the hand of the man who can bring that from the grave. People say sandblasting can warp sheetmetal. I can just imagine how bad this is.

As long as everyone is ok! I'd rather see the house burn than the garage and the truck. They still make lumber.

It does appear to have been stripped, doesn't it? But it's still kinda dumb why not save the whole truck instead? Lots of insurance??????

Also you wouldn't believe how hot a fire actually gets. What power! I would say that all of the stuff that you think "was stripped" off the truck actually burnt up. Fire's like that are hotter than you would ever think! Diane Last edited by 1970blazin; 11-04-2003 at 11:43 AM. |

Was a nice truck
We could only save what we could. It's a bummer to see such a nice truck go away. I dont think the truck was stripped and then torched. Thats just plain CRAZY. But I am sorry for there loss.
