Best method for this is to remove the floor supports "cross sills (if talking bed) and hammer and dolly them straight. Not really a better way. Trevor

Where there are supports I tack welded a 2" piece of metal that was about 6" long and an 1/8" thick then pulled up on that piece of metal while I hammered down on the surrounding area. You may have to use some heat. I used an overhead crane with a metal lifting clamp to pull up with so you may have to improvise. You could tack weld a piece of chain maybe and pull on that with a chain block or ratchet strap you get the idea.

It was a lot of work. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=288104
