The frame is pretty darn straight. I measured from the from the front leaf eye bolt to the rear corners and was within 1/8th inch. No sagging to speak of. I've got a wavy lower rail, about a 6" spot, on the driver side just in front of where the original motor mount was. Haven't decided how or if I will fix it. It doesn't drive me crazy so I'm leaning toward leaving it rather that heating the frame up and risking more damage. It has the normal pitting where the original mounts were but plenty of steel left for it not to be an issue.
If you get a minute take a couple of pictures of the inside rear of this one. Mine is just the skin. I'm trying to get an idea of the bones of it. Thanks I appreciate the help.
thanks for the post i am starting a 30 pickup build to convert to a speedster my self will post when i get started
Mr. Wright: Please take some closeup pics of the lower frame 'wrinkle', it may be fixed cold, with some simple hand tools. (Not to exclude 2 lb. hammer and small steel block for dolly for final 'cosmetics')
