C-Notch on a 66 c10 with a rear-mount gas tank?

[Ddubb]

I did a frame-off on my 66 c-10 fleet-side long-box about eight years ago. The truck is beautiful, but I have never been completely satisfied with its stance. I put 4" drop springs on the back and 2' drop springs on the front even before it was rebuilt. I just recently added 2-1/2 inch drop spindles in the front for a total drop in front of 4-1/2".

I intend to use a c-notch and bags to get the back lower.

The thought I've since had (a little late, I know) and thus my question - is can a c-notch hold the weight of a full tank of gas?

I currently have roughly 4-1/2' between the axle and the frame, so obviously, I need more room if I want to go at least 4' lower.

I couldn't find this subject on any thread. I missed it if it's already posted.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

there was a couple of really good post on just that subject on this site. try searching C notch to see if you pull it up. there was some really good info.

Check your ride height before you cut frame. I notched mine and as low as I am don't really need it. YOU will be hitting bed before frame with axle. The lower you go the more the trailing arms push axle forward. Lowering blocks help this.

Thank you both for your help. I was able to find some very good information.

Thanks again!
