Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

a comment on the c-notch: i did the same method axle flip on stock springs with a small c-notch
as a civil engineer, i thought even boxing it that the frame needed more bracing
if you were bagged with a 3 or 4 bar it'd be fine, but the rear spring hanger still carries half the rear weight
i added as much bracing up to 1/4" of the bed wood, every bit helps
