Another salvage story - not for the weak of stomach.
I have a friend at work whose 14 yr old son put one of his dogs inside his late model Ford F150 ext cab pick up (my friend breeds dogs and sells them). Unfortunately, the 14 yr forgot about the dog. Anyway, three days later they went to the truck and found that the dog (by this time deceased - it was August in Ga) had chewed EVERYTHING inside the truck - dashboard, wiring behind dash, seats, etc... The ins co totaled it to the tune of about $14,000. My friend received a check for this amt, purchased the truck back from the ins co for next to nothing, rebuilt the inside from parts purchased from vehicle recycling facilities and now has a nice truck for cheap. He is working through trying to get a "proper" title for it where he can get a tag and he did mention that there is still and "odor" but other than that he has a pretty nice truck for next to nothing and put about $12k in his pocket.
