Bent Frame - Warning - Graphic!

[section525]

You remember how I told you my frame was bent a little? Well, without the body on it, you can really tell how much it was bent.

I'd say it was 3x as bad as I thought it was. After a 'little fender bender' I took it to a Ford Dealership to be fixed and this is what they did! The had a hard time mounting the two body bolts in the front too. You can see where they had to drill new holes! %@#$@ *******s. Oh well, I have a new frame now.

Jim, from pics I've seen, your whole truck is "S" shaped.

That is called " Diamond " huge PIA to fix. If it is only an inch or two , it is usually doable. ( is that really a word ? ) Much more than three , it reammy becomes a nightmare. It looks like you are only diamond about an inch. Your swing looks pretty far but that is a much easier fix. As a matter of fact as I look at your picture a few more times , you might not have any diamond at all , just squareing up the front might just be the trick.
Not that big of a deal. If you have a frame machine that is.
