Seriously about the torch?? Heat on the frame won't affect the structual integrity and heat treat? Or is it common practice?
I will tackle about anything to save this truck, and I already have, but I was reluctant to heat the frame rails to get them straight.

Any frame metalurgists out there??

Any ideas accepted.
