am I asking for a miracle? C-notching
I have been thinking about doing a notch in old Lefty. the problem is I do & plan to continue using my truck to haul heavy loads or pull heavy trailers. I also need to keep the floor intact & complete.
any ideas?

My 68 beater has the bolt-in style c-notch that has now been welded in. I've pulled my loaded 18ft car trailer w/no issues. However, my truck is pretty low & the bed floor (what's left of it) above the pumpkin had been 'clearanced' in transit. That shouldn't be an issue though unless your really low.

those look pretty cool. thanks!
although I think I may have an idea now how to "build a better mouse trap". I see where the kit could possibly crack under heavy loads right from the corners. maybe make the frame go from a factory 5" channel into a 1 1/2" X 3" tube of some sort without any sharp angles. does this make sense?

If you have the ability & resources to fabricate, go for it.
