67-72 C-notch kit
Has any one ever used or install a bolt in rear c-notch kit in there truck ? I am thinking about droping my truck. And maybe using one of the kits. If you ask the supplier there going to say install one will be stronger then orginal. But I was wondering how strong they really are. Its not that I plan on carring a lot of weight. But I do sometimes trailer buildable old cars and trucks. Mostlikey I will go with 2600# air bags. Any of you used a c-notch kit and trailer heavy stuff with your truck ?

Re: 67-72 C-notch kit
I know a properly installed weld-in is mighty strong from personal experience. We installed a few at a shop I used to work at in the Gay Area. We had a slammed 55' GMC we used to tow with all the time and no problems with the C-Notch. I imagine a bolt in job would be ok for pulling. If it were me though, while I had the bed off I'd bring the truck by a welding or muffler shop and have them lay some stiches on there with the wire gun. Just my .02

Re: 67-72 C-notch kit
I have a C notch kit in my truck. It makes the ride more nice. I was always having problems of bottoming out so it was what I needed. It is a pretty solid kit and easy to put in if you have a good cut off wheel.
