FREE 1999 Ford Ranger...

Generally speaking it's probably easier to strip the interior, BURN everything
and start over from scratch with ANOTHER bare cab from a junkyard

You might be able to get the smell out of the interior, ammonia wash, then vinegar
wash then washing soda... but it'll take time.

Basically I'd regard such a truck as a powered rolling chassis with a bed.

It really wouldn't bother me.......

I'd just drill holes in the floorboard, hose it out good, and leave the windows down all the time. And chain smoke cigarettes.

i remember when they did it on mythbusters. had crime scene clean up guys come in to try and clean it out with all kinds of enzymes and professional grade stuff. still didnt get the smell out even when they took all the interior out. i would still take parts from outside the truck though haha

actually, i would paint it black, add some blue and purple or black lights, a smoke machine, some spyder webs and call it the "Death Ranger"

Actually, i'm pretty sure none of you would do that if you had taken a whiff of death.

+1, if it fit my truck and was in decent shape, I would grab the fenders, hood, and without thinking about it. Maybe pull the doors and let them air out they would be good too.

The drivetrain would be good to grab too, couldn't beat it for the money.

That's because there was a lot of stuff Myth-Busters didn't get rid of.

Weather strips, door vent flappers, firewall seals, the rubber seal
around the back glass... it's all gotta go.

bare painted metal, if ANYTHING plastic is left behind it'll attract
flies and buzzards for years...

Hell I've stripped out an interior and replaced it because it smelled
like the previous owners dog.... and after replacing everything I still had to fabreeze the thing on a monthly basis for almost a year.

I'm guessing you're a firefighter by "smoke eater". I'm sure you've smelt death more than once.
