Abstract
An improved motor vehicle body and frame straightener of the type usable with conventional "dozers" to pull bodies and frames into shape and alignment, and having an adjustable anchor-free rectangular rail system with slidably positionable jacking provisions and laterally adjustable body grippers provides cross-slides integrally mounting the jacking provisions and laterally adjustable body grippers for better speed in set-up and better access for "dozers", while preserving facility to move the laterally adjustable body grippers without concurrent movement of the jacking provisions; grippers of two types, jaw and stud, may be interchanged by withdrawing a gripper arm and re-inserting it rotated 180.degree..
