Frame Dilemma !!! I need Opinions !!
Hey guys, i'd like to get some input on this matter. If you look at the attached photos, you can see that my driver frame rails is bent outwards approx. 1/4" outward. This is from the blue line forward towards the bumper. Nothing terrible, but none the less, it must be fixed. As soon as i get the chassis rolling, i was planning to bring it to the frame shop to have it pulled shraight. I have no idea what they charge for this and was wondering if this is something i should tackle myself? My uncles shop is equipped with floor chains if i need. It seems like a pretty easy fix because of the location. And what were tolerences back then ... + or - 3/16" The rest of the frame is fine , just this lil section from the most forward crossmember, forward. What do yall think ??? Would you straighten it cold? Put a lil heat on it .. and pull it straight.
Yes, i did notice this after stripping the frame, but just figured i'd fix it before putting the final finish on the frame. Well, that time has arrived.. and i need everyone's input. Take a look and throw you advise this way !! Happy New Years !!!!
