i was wondering if anybody knew what was up with chevy fullsizes notches after being bagged...i have seen numerous notches that looked as if the frame was bent on both sides towards the middle...is this a chevy thing or what?

I never noticed that until 1 week before I notched mine. I saw a guy's notches and said"dude, u cant weld worth crap". Then I noticed its stock like that

Thats what Im doing. I need to use my bed and a big hole in the middle just wont cut it.

our stepside beds make it so much easier and cleaner to do too!!!!

ya thats one thing im also definatly gonna do is put a new floor in the bed raised to clear that notches.

tho i dont think ill use the stock flooring.... basicaly making my own floor with some square tubing and a sheet of metal over the top, hardest part will be geting it all flat since my shops floor isnt level :( but ill geter done when it comes time to baggen! best thing about raising the floor is you can use all that lower space to mount your tank and toys to be not seen!
ive even thought about using some thick metal and some good hinges and make some trap doors so i can get make my own hidden tool box with some air hoses as well so i can air my tires up if needed and posibly run some small air tools when i have to and the air is a big helper! :D so ill eventualy have a engine driven compressor for sure!

my only thing is what size rims to get so i can lay out. i was gonna do 18s but i think im gonna splurge and just get some 20s and then if i have to tow ill just us my stock wheels.......
