Ready to join, need cheap body shop.

[FlowState]

Hey y'all,

If you haven't seen it in the 60s series forum, I'm just about to pull the trigger on an 88 62, but there's a hitch:

Upon very close inspection, it appears as though there's a .25" - .50" bend in the frame, the forward engine-compartment cross member is pushed back a bit.

The truck is going for 800, and I'm willing to take it to get straightened if it isn't too expensive. So i'm wondering, does anyone have a line on a cheap body shop who they'd trust to do a frame straightening?

I'm looking for a price under 500, if that's at all possible (I've never had to have this done before, so it could be a pipe dream, for all I know).

Like I said in the title, I've got my dues ready to go for the TLCA and LSLC, but don't wanna step into a big mess with this truck...

Thanks, guys

Awesome guys, thanks! I am just really unfamiliar with body shops and what fair pricing is. I definitely appreciate the help.
