Default Got a little problem

So I decided to help a guy I know pull his Chevy across town and we kinda hooked it up horribly. Had the chain around the ball in the bumper and around the frame on the right side. Well him slamming on the brakes a few times and jerking it really hard I noticed the steering is off to the right now and pulls a bit to the left. My main question really is how easy it to diamond the frame? I have a feeling it might have.

Where do I measure at? I'm new to this kind of stuff and could use some pointers.

Fixed points on the frame that are identical side to side. Probably easiest to hang little strings with nails or something on them, mark the pavement with chalk, then move the truck and measure.
