Thanks Jim, yes from the front cab mount to the rear most engine cross member hole it’s about a ¼” out and grows. Front cab mount to the front of the frame horn is currently an 1” all to the left (so ½” each rail).
We got to a point where we couldn’t get any more movement the way we have been straightening it. Problem is the front cross member is tying both rails together we need to remove it and go after each rail independently squaring as we go. Really glad I didn’t cut up the C30 RV frame nub yet, it has been nice to have a straight as an arrow template (kinda measures 0” and ¼” in comparison). Put the laser on the nub for comparison purposes see pics below. Brought the frame down off the lift to remove the front crossmember and see how everything looks getting ready for round 2.
Side note: I have been trying to get it on a frame rack but the shop I wanted to use keeps putting me off so maybe we won’t need them, I hope.
