To C-Notch or Not to C-Notch?
Opinions? If I have all matching numbers will it kill the value?

Re: To C-Notch or Not to C-Notch?
My .02...its all up to you...how low do you want to go.
Value...only if its all number matching stock. There is always a buyer for everything.. Check out some of the build thread here..and some of the pictures... |

Re: To C-Notch or Not to C-Notch?
I would also take into account how low you want to go and what the truck will get used for. In my case I will use mine as a truck and will tow with it, so c-notching was out of the question. A driver cruiser then a c-notch would be OK. Be careful because insurance companies may consider a c-notch as frame damage, I have seen it happen on later trucks when I was at a GMC dealer.

If you drop it, the notch is just nice insurance and pretty easy to do. Only takes one good shot on the hwy to jar your teef loose.

I wouldn't with these Houston streets unless you plan on bagging it. That's just me.

to answer your question, I think it would only hurt the value to notch it if it were a 71-72 cheyenne super big block short box. Otherwise it's OK. These aren't Camaros and Chevelles. Nice looking truck. I'd drive it at the height it is.
