I've had a c-notch kit for my 69 lwb for 6 months. This video may have given me the push I need to dive in and drop it down. Thanks for this great video!
Someone in the past 50 years, notched my frame and did not install reinforcements at all, just a cut frame 🤦🏻♂️. I installed the cpp notch, super happy with it now.
Very informative vid, you have inspired me to start my own channel "Boss Chevy C10" don't have any content yet. I commented on your last vid as marc from charleston. Keep up the excellent work my B
great job guys!!!! that c notch piece looks rugged, thats gonna lend a lot of reinforced strength right there where your sring/shock/airbag is!!! plus the coolness factor to go with it!!!!!! awesome !!!!!
Yeah, it's actually a super quality piece. If you look up the part number, CPP actually sells it as their notch designed for 63-72 trucks that will tow frequently. It's beefy. And the bolt-on aspect makes it very accessible by any DIY hobbyist.
@@albertocarlos2193 no, thanks. That bad boy is plenty strong. So many bolt-on suspensions and c notches out there these days (Porterbuilt comes to mind), no need for welding in a notch designed to bolt in. It's got bolts along the bottom of notch as well as reinforcement. I've driven it and totally comfortable with its rigidity.
Planning to do this to my 66 swb chevy with big back glass apparently someone pur on PS vintage air con but I seen you talk about a power brake kit for my s10 booster then wood bed kit her has electronic ignition already man il be on the road and Planning to attend a c10 truck show man keep your fingers crossed for me and my baby blue with white top and all factory chrome can't wait bro
haha! The editing was generous. Drilling out rivets are the toughest part. You need plenty of good, sharp bits and lots of batteries for drills or compressed air.
Fella's This is an AWESOME well done and explained video, just finished mine and it went GREAT thanks to you guys, keep em coming. Only issue I had was them damn rivets are a BITCH. Also relocating my panhard bar, I am kinda stuck but other than that, it was fairly simple.
After the notching. Did the differential hit the bed? Asking because I’m going to be doing the same and need to know if I have to get a 3” raised step bed for it.
And you guys missed the the explanation of you need to block up the rear of the frame cause when you cut it without it supported it will sag I did mine with the bed off and it dropped I guess your bed held yours
They do, but naturally bolting them in is a better option of DIYers who can’t or don’t want to weld. That sucker is definitely in there and reinforced well.
I have a relocated gas tank under the bed and have flexible braided fuel lines. I just pulled them out from the frame and we were very careful not to nick one on that side.
I think you just lost 2/3rds of you frame strength behind the “C” notch. Now, you will get high centered on a pot hole. Time for a winch and double check the four-way flasher! Question; How do you turn left or right. Hits the fenders regardless of KPI or SAI lift. Skid plated or oil pan, that is the question!
These frames are c channel right? Why would somebody ever cut and butcher the frame to access the upper spring bolt?? Sad to see! Good video though, thanks for the content!
They are! That particular bolt is behind the part of the upper spring plate that actually boxes the frame (sorta) in that spot. That said, still accessible with an open end wrench of any length.
It’s hard for me to work with buddies that just throw stuff I mean there was no frustration with Ron and tell Ron that we seen what he had he about had the hole ls swap don’t be hitting up folks for donations the fella went to the Texas speed and got a load of stuff and could have went with cheaper stuff
Yeah, we tried that Diablo 100x longer diamond blade and it was doing the trick but Ron is old school and liked the fact that the regular cutting discs are easier to use in tighter spaces once they begin to wear away. New blade for cutting and one with wear for grinding.

That was the exact intent!
Awesome upgrade to Teddy! Glad to see that you don’t have to take off the bed to do this. C-Notch is now on my list. As always, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, David! It definitely makes it a little more challenging with the bed on but we did this in an afternoon/evening.
Glad to see you got it notched. It will ride much better!
Yes sir! Thanks, Fisher.
Nothing like a nice Old School Cut off wheel. Very much enjoyed.. Thanks for sharing...
Sweet! Thank you for tuning in
That cutting angle was amazing lol
haha trying to bring the footage
about to do this on my 80 and my 86 c10...good stuff!
I still remember when I did mine by myself.
Hello from Mexico buddy.
It can be done for sure. But a lot more fun with friends! Thanks for tuning in.
Good friends and new truck parts. It’s hard to beat that combo!
So true!
Really great video. My 67 C-10 frame has be stripped from my truck without my marking the rear end placement so your video helped me find true center.
Awesome!
Someone in the past 50 years, notched my frame and did not install reinforcements at all, just a cut frame 🤦🏻♂️. I installed the cpp notch, super happy with it now.
It's a quality piece for sure!
You guys did a great job on the install!
Thank you! Nothing like a little driveway cutting and grinding.

I thought the same thing !
That's awesome! Please do. We need more classic truck content out there in the world.
Whitlock Garage i agree you’re channel is blowing up already and it’s only gonna go up from here.
Really good video bro now I know what to expect
Thanks!
Thanks very much guys! You really help me a lot !!!!
Glad to help!
Nice work & video on that c-notch
Thank you!
Just the video i needed to watch!
Awesome!

Good work 👍 thanks for sharing.. keep it up
Thanks for tuning in!
Nice job, looks great! I just added something to my long list of things to do... Thanks, lol.
Haha! It's what we do.
Job well done 👌👊💢
Thanks, Walter! 👊🏼
Nice work boys!
Thanks!
Nice !
I did the same on my 63.
Rides nice now.
Yeah, it's already made a huge difference on Teddy. Road-tripping a little this weekend so that'll be the real test.
Whitlock Garage I would recommend welding those up bro.
@@albertocarlos2193 no, thanks. That bad boy is plenty strong. So many bolt-on suspensions and c notches out there these days (Porterbuilt comes to mind), no need for welding in a notch designed to bolt in.

I hear ya.
The roads in Cali are bad,that’s why i welded mine.
Good job
Wise words from Master Ron!
Master Ron?!?! i like that.
Good stuff guys! You're making it very hard to not buy a toy pickup!
Please do! And thank you.

Awesome! Good luck with it all.
How do you get your friends to do the work lol by holding the camera
Didn’t look extremely difficult. Great job guys.
haha! The editing was generous. Drilling out rivets are the toughest part. You need plenty of good, sharp bits and lots of batteries for drills or compressed air.
hi nice job. I like it I'm thinking off do it to my s10 extend cap 89 thank u
The only way to run a grinder. First thing I do as well.
bahahaha
It’s so much easier with help I did mine by myself 🙈 now I have 10” notches which were worse to setup
Nice video.
Thank you!
Hey guys, loving the show! What size bit y’all use to drill those holes to fasten CPP c-notch to frame?
Not sure off the top of my head; likely whatever the bolt size called for.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS isn’t it Dangerous grinding around the Gas tank ?
Gonna to be jumping on this project soon , but I think I'm just gonna pull the bed off should be easier
Certainly would, but we wanted to show it could be done with bed on
Any part# for that fuel tank? Would help alot. Thanks!
It's a boyd welding tank - www.boydwelding.com
I need to do this to mine man teddy looking good brother ! You plan on airbagging it ?
Thanks, Hermen! Planning to get the rest of your giveaway package out this week. And yes, ultimately bags. Ultimately. 😜
What about using a plasma cutter here? Would that work as well?
Yes it would! Didn't have access to one at the time but do now
Fella's This is an AWESOME well done and explained video, just finished mine and it went GREAT thanks to you guys, keep em coming.
Only issue I had was them damn rivets are a BITCH. Also relocating my panhard bar, I am kinda stuck but other than that, it was fairly simple.
Sweet! Glad you enjoyed it and found value in it.
I wonder if you could shorten the C10 frame 12" as you put this piece in?
Yeah, because brake lines, fuel lines, e brake cables, exhaust and driveshaft will shorten(and balance) themselves
After the notching. Did the differential hit the bed? Asking because I’m going to be doing the same and need to know if I have to get a 3” raised step bed for it.
I did a 4/6 drop on my 06 Chevy but it rides like crap. Would the notch make it ride smoother?
If the axle is hitting frame, yes for sure.
Neat as heck! #LowTruckProbs 😜
Right! 🤦🏻♂️
Hey boss did you have to do anything to the rear sway bar bracket.. did the cpp c notch clear it ?
No rear sway bar
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS im sorry I ment the axle track bar, did the c notch clear anything speciel need to be done ? Thanks for your time .
What size drop was on teddy at the time of the c-notch install? I’m assuming 5-7 but wanna clarify!
That's correct!
And you guys missed the the explanation of you need to block up the rear of the frame cause when you cut it without it supported it will sag I did mine with the bed off and it dropped I guess your bed held yours
Never seen that happen before, but we had the jackstands under the rear section of frame.
weren't you supposed to level the truck out ? before doing any cutting and notching ?
Not sure exactly what you're asking.
Like make sure back end is leveled out Before the cutting
Did you also weld it or bolted only?
watched your video on c notch how come nobody ever welds them in
They do, but naturally bolting them in is a better option of DIYers who can’t or don’t want to weld. That sucker is definitely in there and reinforced well.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS yea right till ur frame starts to bend
what kina wheels do you have on this truck
What did you do with your fuel lines did you disconnect them or somehow relocate them? I have the same issue with my f150
I have a relocated gas tank under the bed and have flexible braided fuel lines. I just pulled them out from the frame and we were very careful not to nick one on that side.
Whitlock Garage oh okay I have stainless steel lines so I’ll have to either bend them (not the best idea) or disconnect them

Do a c notch on a 84 c10
These frames are c channel right? Why would somebody ever cut and butcher the frame to access the upper spring bolt?? Sad to see! Good video though, thanks for the content!
They are! That particular bolt is behind the part of the upper spring plate that actually boxes the frame (sorta) in that spot. That said, still accessible with an open end wrench of any length.
Does anybody know where to find information on c-notching a 1960 c10??
www.67-72chevytrucks.com
1960 should be very very similar if not just like this one
Can you still tow with a c notch
Some make a heavy duty cnotch kit for towing, I know cpp has one for c10
Yes, the heavy duty notches box in the frame there usually(made from two pieces) and provide plenty of strength
It’s hard for me to work with buddies that just throw stuff I mean there was no frustration with Ron and tell Ron that we seen what he had he about had the hole ls swap don’t be hitting up folks for donations the fella went to the Texas speed and got a load of stuff and could have went with cheaper stuff
It's all fun and games. Nothing serious. We have a lot of fun working on projects together.
Hopefully you painted that raw steel.
Nope. Rusting away under my truck.
Lol
you gave up on those stupid diamond cutting wheels?
Yeah, we tried that Diablo 100x longer diamond blade and it was doing the trick but Ron is old school and liked the fact that the regular cutting discs are easier to use in tighter spaces once they begin to wear away. New blade for cutting and one with wear for grinding.
@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS love the channel, keep it up.
red93yj thanks for tuning in!
NORMAL RICHARDS AT WORK............................
