Well..... I Bought Me Another Truck....
#21
got it on the frame machine monday. pulled some measurements and it seems to be ~2" or so out of square up front. we pulled on it HARD and only gained 1/2" gotta chain it in some more spots to isolate the pulling force.....
at the end of this pull the *** end of the truck shifted 2-3" (it's chained and bindered down in 4 spots plus has the frame rails clamped to the rack via some jigs that go with the machine) so we called it a day. i pulled the radiator out tuesday, gonna work on it a little tomorrow and see if we can get it done, also the crossmember on the driver side is pushed back ~1" causing the front wheel to be off-center to the wheel well....

UPDATE!!!!
frame is within 1/8" of being square again. i'm gonna let it ride. got the fenders fitted on it and the hood fixed tonight, hopefully gonna primer the fenders, hood, grill and bumper tomorrow, then paint on saturday and hopefully assemble on sunday.
