Frame out of square
So I'm down to my frame and it does not look bent but it is 1/2 out of square up front and about 1.25 inches out of square but when you measure over all it's about 1/4 -1/2 inch. I went to mount my gas tank and looked at how crooked the brace was. I can see where prior owner wollered the holes out on the bed braces to fit the brace. I have not taken crossmembers out yet and really did not want to, but some our obviously crooked. If I pop every rivet what hardware do y'all use. I know grade 8 snaps and grade 5 will bend. Any suggestions y'all give me will be appreciated. I hope this is something I can level out and do myself. Long post ..sorry but looking for yalls input that have dealt with this before

Re: Frame out of square
Ok I think I got everything squared but the crossmember where the pan hard bolts. Is it supposed to be crooked?

Re: Frame out of square
Disregard guys I figured all out y'all can clear the thread. Lots of folks have a crooked Panhard crossmember as for the rest of it. The front crossmember was a little loose and knocked everything out of whack. Glad I found it now, but it was pain to square back up...

Re: Frame out of square
Yes, one crossmember in the back (panhard bar area) is supposed to be crooked. That way from the factory.

Re: Frame out of square
Yup thx for the reply. What screwed me up was everything shifted and then I would get it square and level. Then look at the brace in the back and it was crooked. So lesson learned..
