Gmc Junkie Is Brokendown/stranded

[Longhorn Man]

Just got a call from Jodie about 30 min ago when I was headed to the junk yard, she is stranded in louisiana. She has no battery power at all.
The truck was cruising just fine, a suddne surge of power, then 2 backfires. (didn't ask if it was through the carb or out the pipes) and now nothing. No 4 ways, no cranking, nothing.
I had her look for burnt wires around the battery, and all she found was some corrosion on the main positive cable. We have no test light, so she was unable to tell me if the battery was stone dead, or if it was the red wire going to the junction block. She said other than the corrosion, nothing looked out of place to her.
I have her Cell # here, she said she was going to call tripple A, but no idea where to, nor what she's going to do next.
I want to say she's close to Lafaette...but I may be mistaken. I'm going to try and get ahold of a couple ppl, and then I'll probably call her up.
Anyone able to help her, PM me. I'll be getting an exact location as to where she is.
Who was doing the thread 6 months ago about collecting names and numbers of ppl willing to help in this situation?
