Should I continue?
Ok guys I'm kind of new here and I will probably be asking for more advice and suggestions in the future. I added some new images to my gallery of the stripping down of the 1960 F100 that was given to me. Overall the truck seemed to be in good shape. The normal rust issues like the floor and cab corners and such. After completely removing front clip I realized this truck has been wrecked before. At the very front of the frame you can see where the frame was heated and bent back to get the bumper back on. No big deal, but the only question I have pertains to the frame from the cab forward. It appears the frame twists vertically a few degrees. It really concerned me until I looked at both frame rails. Both frame rails do this. Everything appears to be symmetrical. Is it normal for the top of the frame to be a few degrees in farther than the bottom on these trucks?<O

If you look really close at this picture you can see what I'm talking about. You can see how the frame twists in just a bit at the top. <O</O

If you have a manual, there is a frame dimensions page. Once your cab is off, check it thoroughly. It isn't at all clear in the pictures what the situation is, but it sounds like you are saying the frame channels are rolled inwards at that location?
