- Getting started on the rear half of the truck. In this video we're taking off the bed and installing C-notches to allow more clearance and travel for the axels. After this we'll be putting in new brake lines, an under bed gas tank, and 2" drop blocks.

Great Videos!
Great content, thanks for sharing with us! Just a comment about lifting the bed. I also work alone, picked the bed (mine is still a long bed) with one 2x6, a strap, and a shackle to connect to the hoist hook. The 2x6 was cut to fit snugly under the upper bed sides and ended up against the stake pockets for balance. I oriented the board vertically, not flat, but I think it’s strong enough either way. It was easy to adjust and balance with one person. I put it on a cart similar to what Paul built for his cab. Nothing wrong with Paul’s design except a bit of overkill. Thanks for this series, Paul! I’m a few years behind you but this series is really valuable!
I over-build everything! I didn’t want to learn the hard way that I didn’t make it strong enough. Thanks for watching
I really enjoy watching your videos, I have a square body project and am a one man show myself. I appreciate the ingenuity and planning as you tackle each step of your build. You’ve been an inspiration to me and spurred on my stalled build.
Thanks for sharing your project with us!
Your show is going to be big congratulations I've been looking for something like this for so long
This is where I am, bed extraction...I think I'm gonna go this route with it & use some of my old lumber around here to build a similar frame...my long bed is still a long bed though, so it'll be interesting to see where the balance point is...
Should be pretty close to the same spot.
Enjoying the videos man nice job
Awesome videos, really wanted to make something similar to remove my bed but the cost of lumber is absurd... I just hooked to the bed itself with some ratchet straps, worked good!
Awesome bro! I enjoy your vids !
Really like those C10’s, going to be a fun truck!!
Great videos! I like your ideas for box and cab removal. I'm hoping to take on a project where I'll put a rust free body on my 2003 Silverado.
Nice job Paul,it's fun watching your videos.having built my 67 I'm thinking I should have video it too.keep it up man,look forward to your next one.
I appreciate it. Thank you
Nice Bro keep up the good vid's
Thanks for the time you put into making these videos. They’re great. Which c notch kit did you use?
Thank you. I believe I got this one from Brothers
I wish I could go back in time and recommend to you some new casters for that Pittsburgh engine hoist. I just started using mine and quickly realized why they are so cheap. Some decent quality casters makes that engine hoist so much easier to roll around. Same with the Harbor Freight engine stands.
I’d definitely go get a few 1 inch welds at the corners on that after it’s driving. If you put any power in that truck the frame twist will be exaggerated. Might cost you $40 at a shop, strengthen in be 100%
nice to see someone do a decent video of the c notch install, I still haven't put mine in iv been procrastinating because im nervous ill mess it up but im good now after watching you do it. Did you put your brackets back in for the coil springs? you need them the keep the frame from flexing thought id mention it because I didn't notice them after you put the c notch in
The notch replaces that bracket
@@paulkc10 did you get instructions with your notch? The instructions that came with my cpp notch say to trim the edge off the bracket so the notch can sit flush against the frame. If I could id post a pic of the install instructions
Yea it did. Said cut it out.
If I was going to be towing or hauling gravel or something I’d want it there. But for normal use it’s not needed. Most kit instructions assume you’re keeping the bed on, so it says to just cut the bracket and remove the lower part.
oh ok
Thanks for the Awesome videos!! We’re you afraid pulling the bed it would have bent the rails. Or was it not a concern. Thank!
Not really. Those beds are solid
@@paulkc10 I’m a one man show here as well! Lol. I’m trying to teach myself how to weld at the moment. 😨
Some welding? Just in case....
Overkill
Aren't you going to weld it up? Pretty sure the bolts are just to get it aligned and clamped in the right place, then it should be welded
Nope. Bolt in kits don’t need to be welded.
A bro I have a question how long is the bed after you cut
24” shorter
Forgive my ignorance, but what are C notches for? Greater flex under load?
Clearance for the axel to allow for suspension travel bc it’s lowered
@@paulkc10 Makes sense, thanks! Also explains why I didn't hear of it before... I tend to think the higher the better with my truck since I take it into the mud occasionally
You might have answered the question. But with that c notch how many inches are you dropping the rear? Obviously I imagine you are changing springs?
Thank you
C-notch doesn’t lower it at all. I put in 5” lower springs prior to this. Coupled with the 2” lowering block it’s a 7” drop
What was the song to end the video?
“I’m Indestructible” by OTE
paulk_c10 thanks dude, enjoying the build
Can you weld the c notch bracket into place after bolting it on? Or is the frame hardened?
Yea you can weld it on
Was the c notch needed for the 5" lowering springs or the additional 2" blocks? I think I'm do springs only and is c notch necessary?
With 5” springs you may hit at full compression. I never did but I didn’t have too many miles on it before I put the notch and the blocks in.
Did your stock panhard bar bracket interfere with cnotch at all did you have to trim it down?
No interference at all
What a waste, I use one 4x4 balanced in the box. Must be a no brain engineer
What kind of camera over heats while recording? What camera were u using?
Most cameras do when it’s over 100 degrees
@@paulkc10 what about the water resistance ones? Can u just dip them in water to cool down lol
With shitty microphones so It sounds like you’re underwater the whole time
I also live in Michigan so it doesn’t get that hot very often. Maybe once every couple years
@@paulkc10 lol I live in Texas I'm curious if that dipping the camera would work lol
Headache within 2 minutes with it bouncing sooooo much
