I wouldn't even consider buying that it's going to need a new chassis, cab, dash, interior, motor, and drivetrain plus a new wiring harness. The cab and chassis both lost all structural integrity because of the heat from the fire and you'll never get the smoke smell out of the upholstery.

I dont see why the frame would be bad, Cab yes, frame no. single cabs around here are a dime a dozen. It may not have the L vin tag, but it will be a good cab. Id put a 32v gt500 motor in it, so a new wiring loom would be in order anyway.

It burned hot enough to start the left front tire on fire plus any flammable fluids ran down under the truck and burned so I would say the chassis is toast. I wouldn't trust my life or my families life in any vehicle that's seen an engine fire because the nature of engine fires are they burn hot and fast both of those factors will change the temperament of any structural steel.
