68 C10 frame damage

Possibly a noob question, but this frame has obviously been hit and I’m wondering if bends/damage like this can be corrected? Again sorry if this is an easy yes or no, I just have zero experience with framework.

If your talking about the rear cross member being bent I don't think it was hit . Looks like someone hooked a chain to it and pulled on it. I would think you could replace that crossmember with a straight one and it would be fine

Re: 68 C10 frame damage

What about the piece ahead of it? Is that bend normal?

That crossbar is angled slightly from the factory.

X'2 on angled from the factory just replace the bent one and it should be okay

I'm picturing someone hooking to a tree stump with some slack in the chain and flooring it.

Re: 68 C10 frame damage

Super common to see those bent like that. I had a board member come out and pick up a bare frame from me. Used that cross brace to pull it onto the car trailer. It bent. He was like ... Gah I knew better than that to use that to pull on.

Re: 68 C10 frame damage

I have one of those if you need it. I see you also have overload springs there. I am interested in those if you are taking them off for any reason.
