C Notch info & a Tranny question

Guys,

I'm UK based so options are not as plentiful as you have it but is there a specific C Notch size/depth I need to go?? or is it as simple as go as low as you want the truck to go?

Also I have a 4sp manual with granny 1st, whats my options for getting a better gearbox/tranny as bolt in? or should I mess with the diff and stick with the OG box?

love some advice

Thanks

Glenn

Clyde, I could be way out here but if I go bags is there a reason to not lay frame? I might have missed something obvious but it seems if I can go to the floor then I should

uk based is damn cool ive got a regular aftermarket c notch on my 65 c10 7inch drop in front 6 1/2 in the back.If you want to put that truck on the rockers then you have to step up the game, what you want to get is a step notch which means either raising or cutting the bed

Re: C Notch info & a Tranny question

I would cut the notch so that once the axle tubes are touching the bottom of the notch, the top of the pumkin would be hitting the bed floor. Then I would add short bumpstops so it does not touch.
