Obs Frame Horn Question

Hi all,

I am restoring a '95 f-350 7.3. The engine is getting pulled in 2 weekends for a bunch of go-fast parts, and I am going to paint the frame when it is out. However, I had a question about my frame horns. As you can see in the pictures, the PO definitely hit something with this bad girl. wasn't a big deal to me when I bough it, and it still drove like just about any other OBS I've ridden in so I didn't really care. That said, now that I'm going through it and painting the frame, I want to straighten my frame horns out. I already ordered new spring shackles, as the ones on it now are pretty bad, but I wasn't sure how to go about the frame horns themselves. I was planning on trying the good ole heat-and-beat technique, but I also have a porta power. I just wanted some insight on what others have done, or if anyone has even had this issue.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I would secure truck and use a chain wratchet binder and straighten it out, if necessary heat.
