1970 K Frame Measurements

[3D]

Is there anyway to confirm that my K member is not bent?
I have several to chose from but I would like to check it before I blast and power coat it.
Any input is welcome.
Thanks

Only experience I have with bent K is where the strut rod goes through it. K can be bent backward if wheel hits a curb or something hard. Which pushes the control arm backwards.

I'd say just try and bolt it up to check if it's twisted and frame bolts don't line up

Its not k frame specific, but there are some references to check in this thread: http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=106373.msg1044413#msg1044413

Lay it on a decently flat floor and see how the arms measure to the floor, then I'd cross measure to the corners and check for consistency. Bolting it in will also tell a tale, as mentioned. The MkI eyeball is your friend as well.

I be sand blasting it this weekend so I'll be checking it out, ill also be re-welding everything.

I just welded mine and got worried that it got bent from heat, but I testfitted it to the car and it fits perfect. If you need any measurements I can do it since it's on my stand right now.

"MkI" was old Brit shorthand for "Mark one" or the first, original variant of something- in this case, your own, original, eyeball. In other words, look at it- carefully and critically, as the first order of business. Good luck
