Note
This form belongs to the verb, the one that means straightening or leveling something meant to be straight, not to the adjective about fact. It works after be (was trueing the rim) and as a noun (the trueing took hours). It often pairs with up, as in trueing up a frame or a joint. The spelling keeps the silent e of true; truing, which drops it, is the other spelling you will meet.

After a crash, trueing up the wheel is the first job.
