Re: C Notch Templates....
Sounds like you are doing a step notch (through the bed) vs. A "C" notch which is normally a 5 1/2 x 1/4 wall pipe cut in half to make the C. Mark the frame at flush with the C at the bottom, cut and weld in the C.
If its a step notch, maybe someone has some pdf templates to cut plate from?

Re: C Notch Templates....
When looking down on the frame, the top rail has a curve to it , a mild "S" and the iner vs outer step sides may differ is my only thought. Check the suspension forum or bagged trucks thread and click on individual members pages to inspect their builds to see what they may have done. Most buy them, but I respect your desire to build them. I built my C also.
