Thanks for the info guys. I've been fighting with this 77' for a couple days now. Starting to lose hope on getting the exsisting frame rails back where they need to be. They both got moved quite a ways...several inches at least...and even though they may be square to each other...I dont know if they are exactly where they need to be. And along with being moved toward the driver side of the truck..they are also twisted...so im thinking it may be much easier to cut off tips from a truck in the junk yard..and weld them on..I will be sure to cut back far enough so that I know im in a straight part of the frame. What do you guys think of this idea? I just really dont think i can get these back where they need to be...and this way seems more feaseable to me. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Novice frame repair guy lol
