Crooked Frame?
I'm hoping for some help.....
When I got this truck, I was amazed that it had absoultely no rust and I believe it is oem metal everywhere. When I took this truck apart, I didn't see anything that would have led me to believe that the frame was bent (body lines). Once I had it on the stand yesterday, something just didn't look right. I put a string on it from the measured center of the front cross member to the measured center of the rear. The measurement on the front half from side to side are all off. I then put strings on either side and "eyeballed" them to line up along the rear section (I realize a small error at the back could multiply up front) and it seems to be off. I'm assuming that the frames from the factory were symetrical. the last couple pics show what I think are wrinkles. Are there "wrinkles" from the factory? Is this frame "tweaked" Anyone got a cheap SWB 2wd 1978 frame? As always, thanks for the wealth of knowledge!!!!! Misled |
