1970 F100 Front Frame Horn Dimensions

Post by whatabudro »

I hope this is the correct section for this post?

I just got the front end stripped off my new bumpside and discovered the front frame horns are tweaked from an accident at some point in its life. I was hoping one of the members could provide me with some dimensions of a non-altered frame. I have access to a frame tugger and would like to get this resolved before I spend any more time or money on this truck. The damage all appears to be forward of the front cross member. I am mainly looking for the outside width of the frame rails, in a few locations, forward of the front cross member.

Thanks,

Bryan

I'd just line up the front bumper and bend/pull until you can put all the bolts in. :P
