Auto body repair & detailing/2006 F 150 Frame Damage

Question
What type of steel is the frame made out of? Is it repairable? If so, can heat be used during the pull? Is this a hydro-formed non-repairable frame?
Thanks
this is a difficult question to answer without seeing the truck. The frame is steel that is either puched out or bent to form. Frames can be repaired and yes if a pull is very difficult, heat can be applied. If there is severe frame damage, please refer to a body shop in order to determine if the frame has been structurally jeopardized.

| Comment | I clearly indicated it was a 2006 F-150. The answer said the person answering the question need to see the frame. I'm not sure if that's because he/she's never worked on a 2006 F150 or because the frame is new and different than say a 2004 model. I would imagine the person answering would have a guide or a technical hotline to Ford Motor Co where the infor regarding the frame could be obtained. | ||
