Abstract
Disclosed is automotive frame and body correcting equipment having a main bed or frame for supporting a motor vehicle while correcting operations are performed. The underside of the bed has a rectilinear track therein about which one or more correcting accessories may be selectively positioned. Such accessory, here in the form of a pulling tower, is equipped with rollers for riding over the bed, and the tower is further moved inwardly and outwardly generally crosswise of the track and is capable of being positioned at various angles about a vertical pivot. The tower has a base that follows the track and an upright tower part that is selectively adjustable among several positions angularly spaced about a horizontal axis, whereby the versatility of the equipment is improved.
