Progress on the The Beast

Here is the latest progress on the my 86 F150. Almost ready for paint on the cab but I need to straighten the front frame horns. I'm debating on trying to find a shop to do the straightening or using a come-along and a tree and trying to get it pulled into shape. Would that officially make me a redneck?

Looking good there Matt and using the tree and come along method does not make you a redneck..... is being resourcefull. I have been thing about it and you maybe able to straighten it some, but it may not be enough.

Thanks Neil, As far as the frame horns go they don't have far to go till they are straight. Hopefully the come-along will get them far enough. The up/down alignment is good its just that they are off a bit toward the passenger side.
