Bankruptcy does not automatically disqualify you from getting a loan.
If you have kept up with your payments (made them in a timely fashion) for the last couple of years, you have an excellent chance of getting a loan. The reason we can't say for sure is that we don't know if there are other things on your credit report besides the bankruptcy, whether you maintained the credit accounts that you established post-bankruptcy, and did not incur other judgments or negatives on your report.
You should ask your loan officer to pull your credit report or at least look at a copy yourself. You're entitled to pull a free copy of your credit report without scores, one from each of the bureaus every year. See if it looks clean. If a loan officer pulls it, you will know your scores, too.
