Bent frame after cnotch!!!

[Moe2dippy]

I recently did a cnotch on my 93 Chevy Silverado, the rear end bent in words, and we straightened it out, but the right side frame rail is uneven what can I do to fix? By the way, I know we did a half assed job.

Go buy a good used frame at a junk yard and start all over. You could try to straighten it with a jack and 4-5 heavy guys jumping on the bumper.

I would take a welding/fabrication class and back half it.

You need Jack stands in front of your spring hangers (the part that the spring attaches to on the frame)

You’ll need string, plumb bobs (not to be confused with Bobs plumbs), tape measure, level, patience, bottle jacks, chains, probably some long I beams. If you can gather all that up there’s some frame shops with YouTube channels.

Or drive it to a frame shop (they might decline due to the modifications though)

That’s how we got it straight but didn’t straighten all thee way it started raining on top of us

Where would I place the jack if I was to try that method

Do you guys think it’s save able with a jack and some guys bending it straight ?

I think the bigger question is: What should he do to reinforce the frame once it's straight?

Some good advice might be valuable here, esp. before that truck's back on the road where it could quickly become a liability.
