McGaughys c-notch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SBTork · 02-09-2009, 12:54 PM

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.

FYI- Pic 3 looks to be 67-72.

BTW, what are those holes for?

JUST KIDDING!

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

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

you can always make your own for 1/4 of the money

INSIDIOUS '86 · 03-15-2012, 04:53 PM

I would but I have neither the tools material or patience. Just gonna buy a bolt in kit and weld it in then weld a backing plate on for support

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.
