Thanks guys. The C notch will be a piece of large diameter tube, like 6". Then gusseted.

The welds are not my best because my foot pedal wont reach where I am welding. Im in some super weird positions while welding so its awkward.

Im going to 3rd shift from now on so I should be able to get more work done on the truck.

Yep that truck is awesome, but mine is staying 90% truck to keep it useful.

And just like that the shiftknob is gone. Traded it to a friend for a good in line fuel pump.
