frame repair + heat

Thought I'd ask this here before I go do something stupid.

Why don't people use a torch to help straighten out a frame? I know on heavy trucks it affects the temper and properties and will lead to cracking, but I can't see it on a half ton? I don't see how heating a frame would affect it any more than welding (again, not done on heavy trucks)
