Thanks for sharing all your info guys. Very helpful!
I've never done a c-notch, but seen plenty of pics and vids. Is it necessary to remove the bed when c-notching? I ask because i'll be doing this on my own.
It's very simple, use the opposite side turned around backwards to mark the notch, then cut it out, put the correct side in place, clamp it down and drill holes then bolt in
Probably the best way to do it imo. Mark it SMALLER than what the notch is so you can trim it more accurately after the first cut. That's what I did to get mine to fit well.
