32Fordpuchoptop 'Bolter 3 Joined: Sep 2025 Posts: 106 Sugar Creek, MO	Has anyone had luck with straightening (recurving) a stock front bumper? It's for a 1953 3600 on a 1978 Suburban chassis. A powered arbor press would be ideal but I don't think I know anyone that has one. Best to heat or just pressure it? Thanks in advance. Last edited by Peggy M; 10/09/2025 5:48 PM.
