Notching the frame

[1slo_camaro]

Well my truck is on a very slow budget build. luckily i have multiple vehicles so i dont mind my truck being down for a weekend or a few days i just hate the whole let it sit for months on end. plus I dont have a garage

I did a flip kit on my truck last fall and chopped the coils a little. well the front is obviously a little higher then I want but I want to do spindles and coils in the front but due to funds thats gonna have to wait a little.

I plan on pulling the bed again once the weather breaks so i can clean the underside of the bed up and spray rubber coating along with some rust repair and take a wire brush to the frame and all again and really go all out cleaning it up.... possibly a 12 bolt swap if I get lucky...


My next step I am thinking will be notching the rear axle and shocks all around. so this is where I am asking for help from yall. the roads around here are freaking HORRIBLE and even puting around my rear will jump around after smacking the frame. I am sure the for what i think are stock shocks are worn and will help but while i have the bed off I might as well notch it.. Can i just grab a c-notch brace off ebay and be good?

Or is there something better? If i had my garage and welder here with me (military) i would just grab some flat stock and build it myself and weld it all in....



Thanks for the help guys. just so you know heres what my lady looks like



shes got a different grille and wheels but ultimately will go back to the black dwindows when i get my 295s and 255s and sorry shes soooo busted looking. the PO didnt really care and spray bombed everything. i am slowly trying to get everything taken care of
