Frame Bent - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello, i have a 1971 short box, and while adjusting the body panels yesterday I noticed that the frame by the core support is bent on the drivers side.
The tire also stick out of the fenders further on the drivers side than the passenger side.
The truck drives straight as an arrow but it turns right easier than it will turn left.

My question is, Can this frame be straightened out at home using any tools or will I have to take it to a frame shop? Thanks in advance.

I also added a picture of truck because I know you guys like pictures.
