    Why not retire the truck? That would be the noble thing to do.

    I used to work in a morgue, and I pick up roadkill. Smell will be strong and can be difficult to get rid of because it's oil based (body fat and tissues). If the fluids have soaked into anything (seat, etc) that needs to come out and be replaced. Non porous surfaces can be cleaned with bleach and grease-cutting soap. There are companies that will clean up after a "crime scene" but they aren't in every town. Good luck!!

    The Indians believed that if you burnt sage it would ward off any evil spirits.
