Angry Frame Questions

Hey Fellas , any good back yard remidys for straightening out my frame. I can tell you all I have is a bit of a diamond on my 53 and am only about 5/8 out. Any designs for chain and come along or am I messing with fire here.I am totally down to frame and for lack of better terms it seems like it should be easy to just pull the pass side up ay least 1/2 inch and then make some up in my must 11 cross install. HuMMMMm This is all im waiting on . They sell a pretty cheap 2-1/2 ram at harbor but just cant seem to work a sceem up in my head on how to hold er tight. Thanks DJ

Frame Questions

DJ,

Why not just take her to a frame/body shop? The money you spend on a ram would probably cover a lot of the frame shop cost and they know what they're doing. (No shot intended).

I agree with RMF, just take it to a competent frame shop. My '53s frame was tweaked at the front crossmember and a guy charged me 75$ to get it back into shape. It wasn't too bad, but the front end wouldn't sit on the truck.
