Default Bent frame Help Me!

Okay guys this sucks bad, I have a new trans in my truck and alot of new parts and new tires for winter. Well I went in for my alignment and said that the frame had to be pulled and they gave me the name of a shop in town that does it. The shop owner is one of my dads friends from highschool so I trust the shop, he said dont worry it happends to alot of cars if they hit a big pothole or curb. I am just needing someone to calm me down i guess. Oh and i was told it was the upper frame I beleave thats what they said.

did the body shop inspect your truck yet? the alignment shop might be making stuff up because they didnt want to deal with it. s10s kinda suck to do alignments on especially if it needs camber/caster adjustments. i wheel the heck out of my s10 and havent bent anything, well that i know of anyways.

i just wonder what and where it bent that would actually cause that big of a visabilty bend that they couldnt do a alignment on it
