air bag help please!

[lownslow62]

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.

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:

I'd like to know too remember 62 has the x frame tricky to notch i'm gonna pipe notch mine not to jack your thread but how did you route your front lines got pics?

[SCOTI]

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

[lownslow62]

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.

[lownslow62]

if i rock the pb notch, what should i do with x that runs through the middle of the frame?

[GVizzle]

If I were you..........I would do it like this.........

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.

Good decision!!

[lukes63chev]

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
