Topic: Got A Bent Frame Need Measurements

[notoyguy]

I recently picked up a wrecked truck for almost no money but it was badly damaged in the rear.  It was hit while parked by a moving truck going about thirty.  I got the frame mostly straight at a friends shop but his computer did not have specs back to 87.  I would like to get it nice and straight before I build a flat bed for it and was wondering if anybody has an old frame book or knows where to find one.

The truck is an 87 ext cab and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

it should be 41.34" from outside rail to outside rail

the frame was pretty much the same dimentionally between the pickups and here are the specs for an 85
