Default Frame help

Does anyone have a tutorial or step by step for notching the rear of the frame? I'm looking to do it on my truck but honestly do not know where to start.... Does anyone make a bolt on, so its just a cut and bolt the new piece on? I have ideas as to how to accomplish it but have minimal metal tools and skills, i'm more of a styrene person, but i'm learning all this metal work slowly. Any help, links, ideas pictures etc would be greatly appreciated! Our if you live close enough I'll come watch how you do it.... I just don't wanna start cutting my frame and mess it up and have to start all over... Thanks in advance

Hi I'm at work and don't have the time to go into details, I looked up the frame taper drawings (don't ask) and there are 10 different tapers you can get on our 1:1. If you can wait I'll give you a little more detail tonight. I will tentatively be in Chicago all day tomorrow palying chauffer to my wife and daughter, but I'm not sure where yet .

Here is what I used on mine. It says for Knight hauler but will work on any of the trucks.

Rear Bumper for Tamiya

So would I cut the frame back a little for these? This looks easy enough to do! Thanks.
