Kevin,
I used the CCP notch & I agree about the instructions being 'vague'. One thing I encountered was aligning the bolt-in notch w/the oval hole on the side of the frame. If I did things according to the intructions, my notch would not be centered over the rear axle tubes @ ride height.
Instead, for my Beater 68 I scribed the C/L of the housing tubes after removing the springs/shocks & raising the rear end flush against the bottom of the frame rail. I then measured/marked the C/L on the notch. I aligned both C/L's & that's where I installed the notch..... which was almost an inch difference vs. the instructions.
The main reason I did it this way was because when I had the c-notch 're-engineered' for my RestoRod (I had a professional Rod Shop re-do a 'buddies' hack job) they didn't center the rear
@ ride height & now the c-notch is off center & hits the rear end.
I decided then that I could do a better job & was glad I verified vs assuming the instructions were 100%. There might be slight variances between frames so it's worth the extra effort before cutting begins.
