Thanks. I get flack about it because "they've been doin' it for years" but that still doesn't mean its safe.

I was building my 64's set-up based off of the bolt-in c-notch for the dually when I questioned just how strong things were. I was very surprised w/the decrease of strength. Its easy enough to augument bolt-in notches but it impacts the sheet-metal directly above which I guess is more work than most want to tackle.

You should start a build thread for your project when you get the chance.
