Baking of the body shouldn't cause any of the metal to warp. Warpage (if that's a word) is caused by a concentration of heat in one area. The expansion of the heated area, which is constrained by the metal around it causes a wave in the metal. If the oven heats it evenly it shouldn't cause any problems.

Unlike materials that are bonded together that expand at different rates would cause problems, but I think in the case of an all steel body you should be OK.

BTW - the truck looks SWEET! I think I've seen enoughs ass for a while though!

Later,

Brandon
