entire frame or partial frame replacement
so just like the title sase im trying to figure out what the best way to go about fixing this my truck
ok about 3 years back i was hit on the front passenger side (i was making a left and he was going strait) it missed the axle so the front right side of the frame took the brunt of the force so the frame forward of the fire wall is tweaked about 2" to the driver side of the truck now would it be more worth while to find a frame and replace the hole thing or could i just cut the the frame at the fire wall and weld it to the rest of the frame
long story short easyer to replace a porshon of the frame or just do the hole thing

Truck is easy. I can do one in about 24 hours if the new frame is ready. 1200 is high, I would check other shops, but if you can swap a motor you can swap frames. I have talked to others and the tearing a truck down seemed intimdating, but when they went to put it togethter, they felt really comfortable.
Look on my 88th post, is steps that will help. I only get help to lift the body and bed. 3 people can do it if you have some good saw horses. It is really nothing to be worried about. Might need to check on Frame VIn in your state. Missouri just goes by cab VIN.
I bought a frame from the salvage and it is traceable as being legal so there arent any legal issues.
