Depending if you just want a sweet dually or what you could do an F550 4x4 chassis and build from there. I've seen a few of them pretty cheap with a blown 6.4L powerstroke.

Those pics were painful to see. I saw in on FB too and couldn't believe it. Keep working on the plan for what's next @SpeedlabDan.
When I had the K5 engine fire years ago, this was what I was imagining happening as I was scrambling around looking for a fire extinguisher.

The thought of rebuilding and everyone reaching out is the only thing keeping me from getting down about it. Thanks guys. I'm also relieved I don't have to figure out anything with the wiring anymore
Post up if you’re looking for parts.
I don’t have anything to donate but I can keep an eye out for stuff.

1 out of 6 ain't bad! I love the look of larger tires but they do rob some towing power and driving behavior.

There's always a silver lining
Holly shit!
Just seen this. So sorry.
No insurance?

Unfortunately no
Well just have to rebuild it then.
I don't think the cab or Fenders are going to be of any use beyond patch panels. Maybe I can save the mirror mounts but even the mirrors melted. That's depressing

One of the trucks dad had when I was growing up caught on fire, the blob of metal that use to be the window crank is still a paper weight on his desk.
Got a CC frame waiting for you (along with some other stuff), if you want to start at the beginning, Free.99.

I believe that's the only thing I have left but thanks! Yea I been lookin at stuff in the driveway that may make a good paper weight
Found a clean cc cab from AZ local for 3k
Has doors though... He also has round eye front clips tho
Ouch, but getting one of us desert guys to send you a clean one probably wouldn't save much money. Shipping big stuff is hard. Hope you get the truck back together.Found a clean cc cab from AZ local for 3k
i have a 20k mile original set of rear burb / crew doors in dry storage for years now if you need a set . the burb had just over 20k miles on it when it suffered a MASSIVE head on smash . i scored a few nice items off it for a few of my trucks and the doors were cheep so i grabbed them .
I am sure it's impossible to tell what caused the fire. Do you have any thoughts on what may have caused it to catch on fire while just sitting there?
I was thinking it was odd for it to just self combust sitting there.
Well my hypothesis is either the tcm that wasn't functioning correctly caused a short or maybe one of my wires from the charging circuit shorted. Either way I believe the battery started the problem. Looks like the battery meted down catching the intake and shroud then spreading to rest of anything that that was flammable. This is also based on Nikki telling me where the fire was when she popped the hood. The battery would also be very difficult to put out with the two hand held extinguishers we had in the truck and in the kitchen
