Sissies... Bottle jack, heavy chain and heavy length of channel or I beam.
I whacked a tree into the driver's door of my 62 Comet when I was 18.
Cut the rocker panel off, bottle jacked the door post back into place and welded a donor rocker panel back on. Donor door of course too. Poverty provides incentive to learn. Ask, read, do = knowledge.
Seriously, a new frame is a good way to go but bends like that can be repaired. It will never be like new but it won't be a widowmaker either, if you have any wits about you at all. The sissy remark was a joke by-the-way too. I do like you guys.

Cheapest backwoods poverty fix = just hack weld a +3" tie rod for one side to adjust that tire straight, or all thread tie rod like the biggest hack bike ever on here had
You need a new frame boss, period.

Don't hack it, replace it !
