My only concern about not having the body on is , that you should have the SAME frame shop do the alignment imediatatly after the straightening> with at least the cab and steering hooked up >Also all the spring work pins and bushings should be completed prior the frame repair> I would strongly recomend that all the running gear up to new as well str box rods knuckles ect and use the rims and tires you plan to drive it with installed> These will be used to set the run out in the rims and the tracking of front and rear axles as well set the toe in > I feel no sense of putting on great skins and have them peel of in a few thousand miles, then back and forth to the frame shop and wheel alignment again and again > It wouldnt matter to me if the cab was held on by duct tape and rubber bands BUT i would insist if that vehicle was in my shop bring it all to me >Nothing sours the stomach like peeling of the paper and looking at all that shine <Then finding out the windsheild doesnt fit %^$#(*###@!_^_)(_*(&^^%)BOOM BOOM BOOM good luck J
