1986 C10 Frame - HELP!

[Tevon]

Hey everyone, working on my 1986 c10 frame off restoration for college, the frame next to the gas tank isnt "bent" or cracked it almost looks warped. Like if it came from the factory like that.

No rust spots ect on it, Im curious if i should leave it how it is due to factory frame, or straighten it, pictures to come tomorrow.

It's a factory deal.... they bent the frame there to give clearance to the catalytic convertor.

The first time I saw that I thought somebody pulled it out of a ditch with as tow hook or something!
