How can I tell if a frame is straight? I recently bought a truck that has a bent frame. I have found another frame that will fit my vehicle. I just want to make sure that what I am buying is good.

How hard would it be to transfer everything from one frame to another?

Thanks

Just think how they build them trucks
they start with the frame 1st and then they put every thing on it
this is the reason why usually they junk the truck when frame is bent
this is why Toyota recalling and buying back all of their trucks (frame rusting )
