New to this forum, I've got a wrecked Hoe to fix

[Gzes]

Even if the frame is bent id take it to a body shop and stretch it back out. Not as bad as it seems bro. Hell if u see a 2dr a t the junkyard get it take it home and chop off parts u need. I got 2 in a junkyard so if i wreck mine i can chop off what i need and weld on

make sure the frame is straight before you start dumping money into it

X2 on this!! Also, it's going to take a VERY skilled body man to fix that roof if it can be fixed at all. First things first though is to get that frame checked!

You can't always pull the frame straight though. The frame horn is bent pretty bad on the passenger side.

The windshield won't seal with that dent. Might take some work to get the window frame square again.

Believe me the frame can be fixed. If its too damaged then cut off the damaged portion and weld in new piece. Always fixable just depends on how much u got and if yoy got another 2dr as a donor

I agree with 99 2dr....I see high milage Tahoes sitting all over for cheap....bodys in great shape and you would have a clean Title.....definitely worth looking into..especially if you are like me and not a body man!!!

well that depends if its bent past the front tires it has to be straightnd prof , or you will never get it right tires will wear fast brakes and all kinds of susp parts will suffer not to mention a ruff ride

Yep thats why if its too gone take it in to get stretched or take down south n get repaired super cheap

Yes eventually I will be taking it in and get the frame tweaked right.
It's kinda hard to tell if it's bent past the front part, Ya know ! Just eyeballing it doesn't tell me much.
I think I will take some measurements off some others when ,I get to the junk yard, just to get an idea of what I've got to do.

I hit pay dirt.

craigslist / 98 Chevy truck parts
parting out a 98 Silverado motor is bad call if you need anything, front clip $300 box$300
Doors sold ea transmission$300 transfer case $150 rear end 300 tunnel cover 50
seats console and mirrors are sold

Even if I have to pay the full 300 for the front clip it's still a good price, don't ya think ?
J Yards here are asking 650 for front clip.
Plus I need air box , battery tray,and a windshield
