QA! Suspension...Repair Frame or Replace?

Post by jgf100 »

Hi All,

My stock '70 f100 has some front end damage from an accident. I've replaced most of the front clip, but the biggest issue is the fame rails up front got bent from the accident. Nothing too major, but its there. I figured it would be a good idea to replace suspension at this time, do some body work and such. My question is... should I repair/straighten the front frame rails, or should I buy a used frame that is pretty straight?

Thanks!
For reference, here are pics of the bent frame...
