This seems as good a place as any as there isn't exactly a frame section. This is regarding the CCSB with a bent frame I recently picked up cheap. I already had it to the frame shop and it's definitely fixable, but it's been a week and still no estimate in my email inbox so I get the impression it won't be easy to get on their books to get it fixed. I think there's one other shop in town that will pull it without it being an insurance job, probably gonna get the same runaround there though. While I wait, the right wheel is almost 2" farther back than the left front. I have to wonder if there isn't a semi calculated way to give it a yank and make it less like a lawn decoration. I wonder what I'd chain to on the truck to make sure I'm not just creating more work in the end? I can deal with the alignment to get it to go halfway straight without 45 degrees of counter steer with a little cross camber or cross caster (or a lot of that's what it takes). After it gets properly pulled I'll be burning some more steel onto the frame so it isn't prone to bending again in the same spot and to get it ready to hang a plow.
