Re: C notch info

Looking for the same thing. I have a 4wd frame so it is pretty straight in the rear. Looks like all the c-notches are for the 2wd frames that get wider in the rear. I thought of flipping over the 4wd rear bump stop mounts and using them for a notch.

Re: C notch info

Yeah. They get wider so the trailing arms can use the coil springs so trailer hitches are different widths etc. I just kept the leaf springs from the 4wd. So all the notches I've seen follow that curve where the frame widens. Check out the thread-"Family Truckster". Not sure how to post the link. I really like his notch and it started as a 4wd. Man got some skills!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...4&goto=newpostthere you go.

Re: C notch info

The 4x4 frame rails are straight.
I would look at using a 73-87 c-notch.

I've never done it myself.

Re: C notch info

Re: C notch info

I used 6" diameter 1/4" wall pipe to make mine for my 4x4 to 2wd conversion.
