Glad your family is safe and the truck can be saved. If the fire was any bigger or burnt longer that sheet metal might have not been workable. Appears to be cosmetic damage and I would probably replace all hoses/belts and anything rubber

Hey man, I am really sorry to learn that this happened to you and your family. Your resilience in the face of adversity is beyond what I can put into words. I was just watching the u-joint/ bellhousing video before going out to drop the driveshaft from my 67 LSD200 Sweptline (same thing happened to my rear u-joint, but that seems to be the extent of the trouble), and walking past the computer with my coffee saw this and took a double take. Having seen what you're capable of, I have no doubts about the future of your Sweptline. Everyone is okay, that's what really matters. And, the old saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" leaves me confident that, just like your truck, you and your family's home will be reborn better than ever. I'm not one to comment on many things other than a "Thank You" or something related to the content I am studying, but it's 8:30 am Sunday, March 27th here in West Palm and you and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers as I get under my '67 to pull my driveshaft. Your attitude is amazing; I'm going to confront the obstacles that lie ahead for my wife, two boys and I in the next 3-4 months with a renewed vigor because of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.. this brought back bad memories for me about 6 years ago I lost everything to a house fire. I didn't have insurance like an idiot because I was one of these people who said oh that will never happen to me..

Floyd, I wish you and your family the best! Here in the TX Panhandle I see a lot of people that loose there homes due to wild fires, I have seen first hand what it can do! It may not seem like it but you and your family are fortunate to be able to walk away with some of what you had most people do not get that lucky.

how dare I build a hot rod, its terrible that this thing now handles better, stops better, and is faster than it was before. the body roll, 4 wheel manual drum brakes and manual steering was sufficient enough, there's no reason to run highway speed and feel safe while doing so
