I bought a frame a while back when I was going to build a Bronco chassis with a 4BT from the ground up. It was about 1/4" out of square when I started but when I cut the front cross member (on One side) it sprang even further out of square. I tried at the time to square it up but managed to put a twist in it.
Now I decided to try again and truing it up and then use it as jig if you will to rebuild my Bronco tub. Depending on the shape of my original frame I may end up using this frame for the final project.
Here are a couple of photos of my attempt to straighten the frame. I'm not done yet but I have the twist out of it. Now I just need to weld the cross member and make sure I can keep both the twist and diamond out of it.

Well Roy I was a little worried about getting hurt I gotta tell ya. The whole process seemed a little scary with the 2" pipe and a cable come along pulling off of the bottom of my tool box. I was making very slow and precise moments, at the same time always thinking if something broke which direction would things fly.
