Yep, everything was gone including inside the cab. The sheetmetal was warped up front and possibly the frame. I wanted to keep it but our garage wasn't big enough to do that kind of work. Plus it was insured for 5g and so insurance wouldn't give us money to fix it. I miss it... Basically what happened is the fuel filter that was on it for the approximate year we had it magically broke a few miles down the road from midas where we got the stock height front springs put in. We of course had no proof after it happened.

Just curious, was it a glass filter?

Correct, however we had it shielded and padded, the only way to break it was a human messing with/hitting it. I looked it up right after it happened and figured out that the glass filter was a mistake. But like I said before, it was them. We had gone on trips to conroe, port arthur, even beaumont. But just like two miles down the road we smelled fuel and it caught. Don't go to Midas! They also put 55 pounds of air in the tires of my current truck on a rotation
