The Ford Barn

'36 Pickup truck.

My frame is majorly tweaked from a hit long ago and it was never repaired apparently.

Not wanting to complete the project on a bent frame, I want to get it fixed properly. The front axle is also bent, or possibly the spindle, as laying a level up against the passenger tire, the top of the tire is tipped outward about 1 1/2". The driver side is more like about 1/8" to 3/16" camber, not the 1 1/2 inch like the passenger side.

So now I need a shop that has the gear and the know-how to work over a 76 year old frame and axle.

Any suggestions guys? I'd rather not replace the frame and go thru the process to re-register it under a different frame number.
