What Data is available for Frame Straightening?

I am looking for some data for the Sunbeam Alpine (SV) for straightening the right rear frame.

I am in possession of Bill Blues Orange SV Alpine. He was hit from the right rear just behind the wheel.

Damage was IMO slight. With the Alpine on a level, flat surface, measuring from the bumper bolt holes to the floor, the right rear is 3/4" higher than the left side. The "B" post just barely touches the rear of the door at the top edge.

Are there any dimensions available whereby my "Frame" expert can utilize during straightening?

Thanks for any help. Hoping to put this Alpine back on the road,

Dan,

Dan,

Both the WSM's, 124 and 145 - near the front of the "BODY" sections, have dimensioned under frame drawings.

For a sV, use the drawing for an Alpine in WSM 145. Please don't use the drawings for other bodies. They are different.

The drawing in WSM 124 is clearly marked as "Alpine Series I and II.
