frame shop
Hey I posted this in the '73-79 forum as well but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post here.
so I think that the frame on my 77 f100 is tweaked. It has a wrinkle on the top of the c-channel under the cab near the front passenger side fender. Also the hood, passenger fender, passenger door, and a few other miscellaneous front body panels don't line up.
Also after I put a carrier locker in the rear end the truck pulls when under heavy acceleration. This one could be from bad suspension bushings in the rear axle springs, but with the body stuff I'd like to at least have the frame looked at.
I live in South Carolina, near Columbia right now. Anyone know of a good frame shop within a day's drive that I can get to?
If it's tweaked I'd like them to pull it as well. Any thoughts on what that's gonna cost? Thanks in advance

David Waddell has done a bunch of work for my friends including building their wreckers. He's good and reasonable so I suggest getting an estimate from him. He moved from the 76/378 location shown on Google but try the phone number listed online anyway. (803)-206-5767.
If that doesn't work, PM me and I'll get what ever is current from my friend.
No idea on price without seeing the truck.
If I have major frame problems I swap frames since it's relatively easy and they are cheap.
If you need a frame after getting estimates let me know. Many SC members should have rolling chassis laying around since these trucks are so common.
