C-notch step by step.

I had a few guys ask for info on this so here it is. Keep in mind I have the frame flipped over for easy of work and better pic's but it can be done with the body inplace and up right.

C-notch time! Well first off I want to say the kit is very well made and is from CPP. What I do not like about it is the directions, they leave something to be desired. First thing you want to do is remove the rivits in ther bottom of the coil spring plate(2 per side) and then remove 2 more infront of the panard mount. Next hold up the Notch and aling the front of the side plate with the rear edge of teh oval hole in the frame. Once this is aligned then mark the frame for cutting. Cut the notch tight at first and trim it little by little to fit just right making sure the oval hole lines up as shown. You will also need to trim off a bit of the coil spring mounting plate on the out side of the frame so your notch sits tight to the side of the frame rail. Once this is done, clamp the plate to the frame and smack it with a hammer to ensurte it is seated all the way. Install the bolts that you can and snug then up but do not tighten yet. Now mark all the rest of your holes that need drilling and center punch then drill out to 7/16" (for CPP's kit). After all holes are drilled remove the plates and paint any part that will be clamped together as you wil not be able to get to this after they are installed. Now tighten the bolts (note one bolt had to be cut because it hit another bolt next to the panard mount) in the order givin in the directions. Now paint everything and install the bump stops in the top of the notch's. We will be welding ours in some spots (per the customers directions) for added strenght and painting the entire frame with POR15. Well that is as far as I got tonight. I will Tig it up tomarrow and move on to the front suspention.
