Taking a close look at the grille... was the cab made from glass fibre? That would explain it being *totally* gone save for the fire wall.

#6, The hoods and front fenders on these trucks are almost universally fiberglass, but the cab itself should be steel. You can see the bent steel on the right side, making me think it might have been obliterated in an accident or even an explosion.

#7, All the more mystifying: diesel doesn't usually explode I think.

#7, I think some of the newer trucks use aluminium for the cabs; from the few truck fires I've seen there would be a puddle where a Peterbilt should have been.

though not true with Peterbilt, plenty of trucks these days use plastic. And lots of it. One of our divisions down in Ohio builts parts for International, Freightliner and Kenworth. Big plastic bumpers, grilles and side ferrings. It makes the trucks lighter so a bit more mileage can be squeezed out. Of course plastic burns easier than steel... and the rock chipping issues...
