Re: A loss from the Rim Fire

this has been posted a few times on here. I wonder what it looked like before. Funny if it was a rusted out bucket that looked pretty much the same.

I was just noticing it has no front license plate which are required in CA. Probably wasnt on the road before the fire.

all that sheet metal is heat tempered now. Should be bullet proof lol

The newer plates are aluminum and would melt off

Re: A loss from the Rim Fire

That is absolutely devastating and my prayers go out to any one involved in any fire. Although I hate to see nice old trucks destroyed, it can be replaced.

Re: A loss from the Rim Fire

I wonder if someone could use the sheet metal to build a functional truck from that. Scrub and clearcoat the metal (dents and all), and put it on a different frame and drivetrain. Hmm...
