i'd have to see it, but i doubt it.... not easily at any rate, and probably wont be practical to fix it either, but like i said, i'd have to see

Too late now, but I woulda suggested the pass on the bent frame truck. Even if they are straightened....they're often never the same.

take it to a frame shop they can fix it depending on what caused the problem it might only cost a couple hundred bucks it coul be cracked or rusted through or bent. Cracks are pretty easy to fix put a jack under the crack lift it up weld the crack and then weld a 1/4" plate about a foot long over the crack weld all the way around the plate and it will be stronger than ever is it just me or do all C/K bodied trucks sag in the middle? Wish they'd box the frames like ford does now.

yea, i agree with DC, i wouldnt mess with a bent frame ride.... it can be repaired, but most oftne, not a feasible solution
