>>How did you manage to bend your frame?? Or shouldnt I ask :)
Was this the problem you had a while ago, I believe, something having to
do
with your Dak sitting uneven and lower on one side? Good to hear you got
it
fixed. Just curious, but how do they 'fix' a bent frame anyways and how
much
do they charge to do so<<

well, what happened to the frame was this: when we dropped it we notched
the frame. When you notch the frame on a long-bad, you HAVE to support
the rear-most section of the frame, which we did not. Since we didn't, it
drooped... drooped about 4 inches. We didn't notice till we put the bed
back on. You could notice where the bed didn't sit quite right on there.
(I have a pic on my webpage of how off the bed was here:

html )
gettin' it straightened fixed all my problems I was having with it not
sitting level and all that stuff.
to fix it he had to cut out the reinforcements for the C notch,
straighten it up (they have a machine that does it) and weld the
reinforcements back in. it was 500 beans for it. WOulda' been less if
they didn't have to weld.
All in all not bad =) I'm happy... now to get the 360 in there
