air bag help please!
 
whats up fellas, new to the bagged truck world. im in a snag.. the front end is pretty self explanitory to me, however, checkin out these other builds you guys got goin on.. look incredible fellas, my question is, the proper way to c notch the rear of my frame. i have the concept down, but i want everything to be perfect and done correctly, not just slapped together. its a 62 c-10 short bed. if you can shoot some tips for my rear frame work thatd be great! thanks guys.

Re: air bag help please!
 
How big of rear notch?
Small bolt in c-notch,... or a 8" or 10" step notch?
I assume your truck has rear trailing arms and not leaf springs?

This is a good place to start looking:

Porterbuilt & CPP have excellent notches. CPP has a thick HD unit too for those wanting extra piece of mind....

lolife, im goin for the step notch cause i wanna go pretty low. mr bowtie i do not have any pictures yet, i will this weekend though, im gonna swap out my front ends for it on saturday, i got one off a 74. and fellas believe me if i could afford p/b products i would loooooove to get down with their killer gear, its just an issue with my cash flow. our business is fluctuating right now so works not always so hot.

We do make a weld-in step notch specific to the 60-62 chassis. The front of the notch ties into the x-bracing and is angled to fit properly.

It runs the same as the regular weld-in step notch: $175

I don't think I have any pics of it on my site. :(

you always could ditch the 62 frame for a earlier frame.

I'm assuming you mean a later frame?

63-66 would be my choice
