S10s do not require a notch but it is nice to have. We do have a universal bolt in notch for $60

You can run stocks on a 40s and still be able to turn and what not

thats exactly how mine sat too! i went with the 8" s10 step notch from suicidedoors.com! then i had plenty of travel and it seemed to have set a little lower after cause the rear end had room to move!
