Frame Measurements

My car was involved in a 70MPH collision two years ago in which it T-boned/sideswiped a Silverado. It did not hit head on; it caught the truck with the passenger side front corner at an extreme angle.

Other than the fender and front bumper There does not appear to be any damage but I believe the frame is tweaked. Does anyone have the frame measurements and reference points to check the frame from the firewall forward? I need to know whether to put it on a frame machine before starting the bodywork.

Re: Frame Measurements

I have a copy of the underside measurments if that's what you need. I should be able to get underhood measurements as well if you need them. Send me a pm with your e-mail addy and I can send you what you need. Don't want to post them as they are leased so to speak.

Re: Frame Measurements

You can also try measuring diagonally from the core support to the cowl using the same reference points for each side. They should be the same if there is no damage.
