McGaughys c-notch

I'm looking at buying a mcgaughys 4.5/6" drop for my truck and I am wondering what the c-notch looks like. I've come across three different pictures for it between a few websites, here they are...

PIC 1




PIC 2




PIC 3





I think it's the first one, but I just want to make sure of what it is before I order it.

I kinda thought that on first glance. I knew the frame rails of our trucks were straight.

Re: McGaughys c-notch

Are the frame rails different on a c10? Might be a dumb question, just wondering?

Find just the notch from one of the manufacturers, get the part number, then search the part number at either Summit or Jegs. I bought mine from Stylin Concepts, could have saved money going somewhere else.
