Default c-notch fits like crap

C-notching a 2000 reg cab GMC guys and the notch fits like ****, actually not the c it's self but around the bottom this one has places to drill holes under the frame and the way it tapers back on the bottom it's going to look like **** so thinking about cutting it off? It's a mcgaughys btw. THANKS!

NBS trucks have 3 different frames.

99 and early 2000 models had a thinner rear section. There was an intermediate model frame some time in 2000 and then late model year 2000s got the final revision of the frame which has a slightly wider rear portion.

The only company that accounts for this is Belltech and they make notches which fit the older style frames. I got fucked on this matter because I have a 2000, yet it has the 2001+ frame. Given that I bought the notch for the 99-00 style and then found out it didn't fit I had to sell it and buy another notch.

looks like I got the same problem, I need mcgaughys part #33003 instead of the 33007, I've got the 5in frame instead of the 4 or 4.5 or what ever the hell it is, so think I got the late 2000 model which must have a 2001 frame, they don't tell u that ****!
