Alternator failed looks like. Causes the voltage to go nuts and burn up wiring.

Hauling Hay... 12 bales the exhaust stack started the fire on the way to the barn.
They cut the straps and shoved the hay off of the truck.
They were able to move the truck away from the fire and put it out with a hose.
Right rear cab corner is where it started. The fire moved forward Katty Korner towards the front left corner.
Damage is pretty well contained to the cab area, Exception being air lines Right side and all rear. As well as Right side wiring marker lights ect.

It's NOT ready for the parade this year. lol Maybe next??? Year
As soon as summer winds down a bit I'll get started for ernest? Til then I think I got enough odds and ends to Hillbilly it together??? lol I'd say inside of two short easy days ( just because that's how I roll any more... I can probably have it somewhat usable?

Thanks for the interest I 'm green as grass when it comes to this thing.

Thanks
John

Ah ok. Maybe an entire take off cab might be the least man hours to running again.
