darksider question

well, first off, i'm getting ready to install a air ride kit on my 52 f1, i've installed several before, but never on anything this old, mostly newer s-10s, rangers, mazda's and what not... but since i've converted the front to A arms, it wont be any different than a s-10, or newer ranger.

My main question and concern is the rear. Has anyone put a C-notch(step notch) in their F1? i was wanting to see pics if anyone has done this, did you raise the floor? cut a section out? or put a tub cover across the rear fender wells? and also, if anyone has pics of their 4 link setup i would love to see em. and was there any interference with the 4 link and bed floor.

oh, and any wacky ideas are gladly welcomed!
thanks.
