c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
Gonna work on the "driver" again soon and got a few things I want to do first.
What C-notch works ECE's bar with out any mods to the C-notch. I know most are designed for the standard Pan Hard bar. I couldn't find a C-notch on ECE's website ... does anyone know if they make one? Thanks Last edited by Shane; 08-16-2006 at 09:37 PM. |

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
I used the CPP c-notch and 1 1/2 blocks with the ECE track bar on my 69 Burb and didn't have any clearance problems.

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
I'm also using CPP's c-notch. They had an ad in Classic Trucks a few months back and had it advertised for 99 bucks so I jumped on it. I'm using ECE's super panhard bar with 1-1/2" blocks and no issues. I just got my 2" blocks tonight so will be installing them Saturday.

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
What size drop springs you got with those blocks guys? OR ... are you runnin' bags too?
The reason I ask, is I got bags and I have read (i think it was XXL) that someone had to modify their C-notch because once the bags are dumped, the pan hard interferes with the original style CPP notch. I don't know if I am imagining this or what ... but I thought I read where CPP had redesigned the notch on the passenger side to clear the adjustable pan hard bar ... can anyone verify this or am I off my rocker? thanks fellers Last edited by Shane; 08-16-2006 at 10:21 PM. |

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
I have seen a couple guys on here move their track bar bracket to the inside of the trailing arm. I think some of them were running blocks and built a bracket on the side of the block. ECE doesn't sell a notch because they claim you wont bottom out with their springs and they dont really push their rear bag setup. They also claim if you are low enough to need a notch you are more than likely going to hit the bed floor with the diff. Air Ride Technologies www.ridetech.com has a bolt in notch as part of their kit but I don't know if they will sell it seperate.

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
I put the bracket that mounts the panhard bar to the trailing arm below the lowering blocks. I think this is where I gained the clearance. If you mount that bracket on top of the block, it probably will interfere with the c-notch.

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
That's what I did.
Yes, my diff just barely hits the bed floor and one of the cross braces at full dump w/ the 1-1/2 blocks. I can just barely see it move when I air out. I got my 2" blocks yesterday and will be installing them saturday, so when I do that I will notch the bed for the pumpkin. It's only metal....

The less I have to modify the happier I am because everything is already painted under there and if I start welding then I have to repaint ... and unfortunately I don't have that "luxury" anymore as my truck is now "homeless" and I have to get it rolling.

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
CPP has modified their adjustable panhard bar *edit* Deluxe Trac Bar Kit (thanks jimmydean)*/edit* to work with the c-notch. The bracket for the passenger side is now a bolt-in that functions pretty much like Slammed67's mod. They're on sale right now too. Take a look:
http://www.cpptalk.com/summer.sale.06.html 6572DTBK 1965-72, kit reg: $109.00 - sale: $99.00 Just to avoid any confusion on which one to buy. Last edited by Alvin; 08-22-2006 at 12:03 PM. |

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
Make sure you get the:
1963-72 Chevy Truck - Deluxe Trac Bar Kits NOT the "Adjustable pan hard bar". The deluxe trac bar is the same type of setup as ECE's "Super Track Bar" built for lower than 4". I got the CPP notches and Deluxe Trac when I ordered my drop spindle disc kit. Should be here in a few days. |

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
Make a bracket similar to CCP's?
See if you can purchase just the bracket needed? Buy the CCP kit & duplicate the necessary bracket for yourself & re-sell the CPP kit on e-bay?

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
I sent an email to CPP and here is the response I got, which is very surprising to me considering all the stuff I have read.
Here is my email to them. Quote:

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
So does it only hit on a bagged truck?

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
As far as I know, it only hits on a bagged truck. Using lowering blocks to raise the axle allows the axle to rest on the bumpstop in the c-notch before the panhard mount hits the frame. The other fix is to move the panhard bracket to the inside of the passenger trailing arm.
Shane, if you don't want to run lowering blocks or fab a new mount you're going to have the interference problem with the ECE bar. I would post your ECE bar in the classifieds or eBay and buy the Deluxe Trac Bar. That's the easiest, cleanest way to fix the problem... at least in my mind. |

Re: c-notch for ECE's adjustable pan hard bar
The correct description of this is that it only hits on trucks that are sufficiently low. In most cases, this is a bagged truck, since that's how people tend to get that low.
