John, I picked up a couple of these too from ebay. On the ones I got the
sides are warped and I'm trying gentle heat and lightly clamping over a wooden
block. However, the one you have is swaybacked. One misconception of these 65'
gons is that of rough loading and consequent damaged sides, etc. This was far
from the case, these were mill gons used for loading of "I" beams, pipe and
other long structural loads. The loads were carefully placed and secured so as
to protect the shipment. Many times these gons had placards stating "Do Not
Hump" for obvious reasons of potential lading damage.
