need pics of WC flip kit/c-notch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*1FaastC10* · 03-22-2003, 08:00 PM

i installed my Western Chassis flip kit today (yes, it is starting to resemble a truck again!) and i'm a bit concerned with the c-notch. it looks like it will interfere with the shock mounting. i have shock extenders, so it may help a little, but the c-notch i have looks like it will cover part of the recess in the frame. anybody got any pics of their setup, or somone else's? i'd really like to see how this thing is going to go together before i actually cut into it. TIA

there is an angle on the notch to clear the shock. do you have it on the wrong side? i think they are side specific if i remember right.

Wow....I installed my Western Chassis flip kit today also. I did not c-notch it tho. I only did a 3/5 so I didnt think I had to.

*1FaastC10* · 03-23-2003, 07:20 PM

yeah... had the notch on the wrong side... Jon, any chance you can swap me user text? i think im the new village idiot.

84Stepper · 03-23-2003, 11:05 PM

Ya I think we can make a deal...ha

Low87 · 03-24-2003, 09:47 AM

It's been so long since I dropped the back I can't remember the company that made this c-notch. But here's a pic.

*1FaastC10* · 03-24-2003, 01:10 PM

Greg, why is everything so rusty?

Low87 · 03-24-2003, 03:16 PM

Minimal rust, just an amber colored picture. For some reason my digicam takes great outdoor pictures, but has problem with lighting on indoor pics.

Maybe in that case it was rocket surgery?

You guys leave Jeremy alone. He's been good since he got away from Tim.

Sorry Jeremy, had to do it. Ask them how many times they have done stupid stuff like you just did.

Me, I've never done anything that made me feel like a dunce. Yeah, that's it, never. My story and I'm sticking to it.

LOHRTBT · 03-24-2003, 08:40 PM

lmao @ Mike

Mike, funny thing you should mention Tim today... he was just here today. not nearly as bad as you guys make him out to be. BTW, i still talk to him online fairly often. you guys just ran him off, so you dont see us teaming up as often.

**swervin ervin** · 03-24-2003, 10:26 PM

I didn't run him anywhere. He left on his own. He has a problem with jokes I guess. If we can't laugh at ourselves, we need to take a big look at what our problem is. I have to laugh at myself, I am do damn funny, you know?

Oh, and BTW, is he still in the service or what?

*1FaastC10* · 03-24-2003, 10:40 PM

he's in the reserves still, they're on alert, but havent been deployed yet. just bought a new truck for some reason he decided he needed a '00 Ranger 4x4. he came to town to buy a set of wheels for it. i told him to drop by since he was in town, so he did. my grandpa and i were in the process of taking my stranded C1500 to the shop. Tim was a big help in getting it loaded and unloaded on the trailer. seemed to be an intelligent conversation. just wish i could've showed him my beast while he was here.
