I had my bent axle straightened by an old timer's alignment shop while it was still on the car. Not may of these shops left around any longer. He had a pit that you drove your car over and the front axle could be chained down at the pivot point where the unbending had to occur. He used hydraulic jacks to unbend the axle to get the camber correct. He used a long bar with some kind of clamping mechanism to twist the axle to get the caster right. Then he set the toe-in using a gauge you had to drive your car over to measure it. He has since close up shop. But my friend found a truck alignment shop that worked on his. They're used to dealing with beam axles.
