I hopefully will be done with my Trans Am this weekend.......HOPEFULLY......and then I plan on starting to work on my 86 S-10.
Back in 1995 I was a young crazy 16 year old and plowed the thing into a ditch on an icy road. Hit is perpendicular and bent the frame a bit. It tracks straight down the road but the frame is bent upwards a bit. You can see in the front fenders, the tops overlap the doors a bit and the bottom there is a little gap. I have talked to several people over the years about getting it straightened but never went through with it. Well, now I am going to be completely redoing the truck and figure it is time to have it straightened.
The body needs to come off the frame because it is very rusted and I will be needing to do a ton of work to it. My question is if I should have the frame straightened before I pull the body, or if a shop can straighten the frame if I just bring them a bare frame.
