C-Notch rear frame?

I've got 3000 miles on my 72 c10 Longbed now, and it has occurred to me that I desperately need a C-notch... The truck is factory leaf, and I installed a flip kit. The diff is majorly close to the frame, like 1" or so now that everything has settled, so it hits all the time. Does anyone make a kit to do this, or am I best just to fab one? Also, should I remove the bed to do it, or do it with it installed? Thanks!

I used a piece of 6 inch heavy wall pipe and cut it in half. Cut my frame and boxed the back half. Super strong and easy. Removing the bed will give you the best access when welding.
