Bent Frame
 

So a long time ago I realized my bed ('96 c1500, 5.7 2wd) sat crooked. I noticed a while later that the frame was actually bent on the passenger side behind the rear wheel. I know it won't really hurt the way the truck runs.... But it's freakin ugly. I thought about just taking a torch and a mallet to it to straighten it out, but I'm not sure that that's the best idea. I don't know and can't find how much it might cost to have some shop do it. Anybody know anything? There are a few things I'd like to do to the truck but wanted to wait until I fixed the way it sits.

Any added heat to the frame can substantially weaken it. Your best bet is to find a body shop and get a quote. The tools to fix a bent frame a pretty expensive and you can do more damage than good if you don't know what you are doing.
