Tweaked my frame up front. How do I bend it straight in my garage with no jig?

Last June I ran into a drunk in my barn fresh 67 long bed and tweaked the frame about 2" higher up front. Since then I have gathered the parts to replace all the body panels damaged and I now have come to the task to get the frame back within specs.

Basically I'm working with hand tools, tranny jacks, and air tools. No torches or welding. Is there anyway to do this with common jacks, weight, and chains? Can a frame be pulled into spec?

I have a friend with a torch should I just call him and throw him a case of beer?

Here's my issue:



Thanks guys!

Ps: space between the rails is factory. The drivers side was tweaked straight up.
