Re: air bag help please!

How big of rear notch?
Small bolt in c-notch,... or a 8" or 10" step notch?
I assume your truck has rear trailing arms and not leaf springs?

This is a good place to start looking:

Re: air bag help please!

Porterbuilt & CPP have excellent notches. CPP has a thick HD unit too for those wanting extra piece of mind....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: air bag help please!

We do make a weld-in step notch specific to the 60-62 chassis. The front of the notch ties into the x-bracing and is angled to fit properly.

It runs the same as the regular weld-in step notch: $175

I don't think I have any pics of it on my site.

Re: air bag help please!

you always could ditch the 62 frame for a earlier frame.

I'm assuming you mean a later frame?

63-66 would be my choice
