While driving, suddenly detected different kind of smell, seconds later, noticed smoke seeping from steering column around ignition switch; caught on fire.

April 1996 Fire

While driving and/or idling smoke comes from both the steering column and under the hood. No fires as of yet but I would like to have the problem resolved before the truck burns down.
