Installing a C Notch on Crusty the C10 

Has a welder sitting right there too. Enjoy your Swiss cheese.

For strength and less chance of cracking, drill corners before cutting.

Frame will bend over time

where did you get the template for this c notch

Instinctively, It just doesn't look right....but with all the added Steel, I know it has enough strength for normal driving. Still...there's just something unsettling about reducing the Section's Moment of Inertia / Geometry. by that much. It's harder to fabricate, but a curved "C " would mostly eliminate concentrated Stresses @ the corners. Also, I have seen someone fabricate a "C" which keeps the Sectional geometry ((channel section) by cutting out about 12" of the Straight beam, then going up & over ....but this was on a truck with a deep enough wheel well which went into the Pickup's bed.

Think I’m a crappy c10 frame practice and do the bolt method to get comfortable before I cut up my good c10 I paid $500 for it and dad passed he wanted a square body so got an 77 c10 gonna finish the ls swap and then go from there but just wanna go for a rowdy street rod everyone’s boosted so thinking I’m just gonna try to do a ls9 swap and just run it with a the ar5 trans or the cd009 trans they are stout and i plan on getting the carbon fiber home made hood finished and probably will start on the fenders and inner fender wells later but just something light in front little weight in back but get it light but nimble cause it will be fun cruising down hills high rpm thinking its the end but just seeing a old c10 that will get a wrap on carbon fiber fenders to hide anyways sorry just this gives me a push and im excited and wanna make pops proud

Well done sir

Question for ya… before you even drew your notch template , how did you mark where to cut on the frame? I’m going to be doing my own soon on my truck and just wanted to know what’s the best way to get a good placement

where do i get that c nocht?

Need to know the names and where to get those parts. Also would like to know where u got the stuff to change the location of the rearmed. From the bottoms to the top and not cut the perches off

SAA-WEEEET ASS JOB!

If you can give me the link to buy the kit for my Ford truck

What year is the truck? I have a 69 blazer that the frame is straight like yours , my 71 c10 has an S shape right above the axle, where did you get the c notch, thanks jg

You guys should post a video on doing a 4link rear suspension

I'm curious.. why not just weld it on?
