If you aren’t taking the truck down to a bare frame and building a fixture, I would recommend welding the frame back together only after putting the bed back on so that the body line alignment can be checked.
Good to know. I was thinking because of how tight a fit it was, and the length, that it would hold the frame straight to where it belongs. So yeah, maybe put the bed and cab back on, straighten everything up, and tack it.
Thanks for the heads up.
