Is there ever any hope of jerking the hell outta it and straightening it--or should I say 2 hell with it?

I had the same thing happen to me: Me and a buddy bent it back some with a chain and two trees, and brazed a leak in the radiator, but its OTR days were done. I painted it camouflage with spraypaint, and sold it for $500 as a hunting buggy.

Have it towed to a repair shop that has a frame straightening jig. They can jack the frame back to the right position. Personally, once the frame is bent, I get rid of them. The metal has been stretched and even though the frame may be straight when it leaves the shop it is never as strong as it once was. The insurance company that you have will usually make the decision on whether it is better to fix it or total it out. Good luck

if the frame is bent, it's not going to be the same...ever. sell it, make sure you disclose the problem.

screw it. get whatever $$ you can out of it (insurance and scrapyard) and put it towards another. I recommend a Chevrolet/GMC product--much more reliable and better crash tests.
