Re: This is why you need to carry a Fire Extinguisher in your truck + have Good Insur

I had a strange occurrence in my dad's 70 Buck GS. The engine ground strap had broke and the electrical system was trying to ground though the metal shifter cable that was rubbing against the floor pan.

Long story short, the area got so hot it caught the carpet on fire when we were driving at night with the headlights and all the electrical stuff on.
