Recommendations for Frame Straightening in the Austin, Texas area?
Recommendations for Frame Straightening in the Austin, Texas area?
I live on the northwest side of Austin near Cedar Park, Texas. Need to find a local frame shop that can work on the frame for my '66 C10. I'm getting to a point in the project where I want to start re-fitting some of the sheet metal for test fits. Using plumbobs, string lines, and tape on the floor, I've come to the conclusion that both frame rails at the front of the frame are bent about 2 1/8 inch from centerline towards the passenger side. All of the bending appears to be forward of the front suspension. Measuring side-to-side frame heights relative to a flat shop floor doesn't appear to show any evidence of frame twist. (There had obviously been some front sheet metal replacement on the truck before I bought it, but they apparently didn't address the frame damage. The little bit of driving that I was able to do before starting the rebuild did not show any major steering or tracking issues, so I'm hoping this a fairly straightforward job.) Thanks! .
