so Im pickin up a salvage frame... they are currently takin it out of the truck, truck was rolled over and Its such a good price I couldnt pass it up. But we made the deal if it's bent I don't have to buy it. Besides the obvious what could I do to check for straightness when Im at the yard. I already planned on measuring diagonally, I think tolerance is around 1/4" from what I remember. Anything else?

 

IMO you need to go down to an alignement shop and get the specs. There are certain points you need to measure. For example this what i used on sisters mustang when we were having problems getting it aligned, I have a similar one for mine...

 

k, i got a guy gettin me a spec sheet, thanks

 

have a decent guy stand on one side. a hot chick on the other side. If the frame leans toward the girl, its strait.

Out of curiosity, why you need a new frame?

 

he's switching from 4wd to 2wd. frames are different.

 

yes kevin is right

 

Post up the spec sheet when you get it please, that would be some great info!!

 

oh okay. I wasn't sure it was him that was doing that.

 

Yeah please post the spec sheet And powdercoat the frame get some pics.
Hope its straight

 

it will be just as nice as the top of my truck when done... I got alot of fab work to do first. Ill have a build thread soon dont worry
