I remember you saying in the last thread that the passenger bumper mount was higher than the drivers side. I can kinda see that in the pic... looks like it's angled upward. It makes me wonder how out of position the rest of the passenger side frame rail is further back, like where the k-member bolts in. It's impossible to get a real answer of how much it will cost to fix from people looking at pics online. You'll just have to bite the bullet and get it towed to a shop. That's the only way they or anyone can tell you how much they'll charge to straighten it out and how confident they are in repairing it effectively.

yeah, it looks like the entire frame rail back to the firewall is bent upward a bit. I don't know how fixable it is with a frame straightener, but as-is I'd have to think that would mess with your ability to have the wheels aligned correctly. It may be time to look for another body to work with.
