So any idea what would have caused the fire? It started under the dash, from the fusebox area then? That's pretty scary. I'm getting my '70 running and now I'll be even more nervous to get things hooked up perfectly. What would cause a short like this able to start a fire?

I'd love to hear feedback on weak links and all areas of the truck I need to pay close attention to for fire hazards...
