By looking at the newly posted photos the frame is stock . Hopfully they bent the frame while the transmission crossmember was still in place and uncut. That would keep cab and run board mounts where they should be . But once they cut that trans crossmember was cut who knows what happened . Had to be a lot of tension on that crossmember. Depending how they reinforced the frame if they did at all. I don't see anything that cannot be fixed . But as I said earlier a visit to an alignment shop might be a good idea . You have a trailer . Show them what you have . They may say it is not safe to drive or they may tell which direction to take . In the midst of all this if the frame is not square when you start you will continue to fight this.
