Default i wrecked my baby

new to the site and i have one question so far. i recently rear-ended a vehicle (another f-150) . i myself have a '92 f150 and i did some, i would say serious damage to the front end of my truck. i can repair and replace everything except one thing myself. my only concern is the crumple zone on the frame on the pass. side is "crumpled' in a little and bent up a little. its not much, but enough to make it hard to mount the bumper and so forth. i am wondering if anybody has an answer to whether i can get it pulled back out or not

thanks, ryan

You probably can, but I'm sure it would be much weaker now that it has been crumpled and kinked. You might be better off cutting that portion of the frame out and replacing it.

i have actually thought of that solution too. i will most likely be taking it to a body shop if i cannot get a close friend or family member to do the job. thank you for your reply that helps me keep an open mind
