Build the ultimate one-ton front axle with Artec's 14 bolt Front Truss. The GM 14 bolt is a massive front axle, and this heavy-duty truss reinforces the entire housing while giving you a flat, purpose-built surface to mount your upper links. Its modular layout lets you configure driver- or passenger-side differential drop and trim the ends to hit any custom axle width.
Key Features
- 3/8 in. thick mild steel truss top with 1/4 in. mild steel ram mount and gussets
- Uses Modular Truss Ends so you can set it up for a driver- or passenger-side differential
- Supports custom-width axles — the modular ends trim easily to any length
- Low profile lets you mount link joints with ideal geometry, roughly 7 to 10 in. from axle centerline with the proper brackets
- Reinforced with interlocking 1/4 in. gussets for maximum strength and self-fixturing assembly
- Sleek overall shape means a stronger axle that is easier to package without hitting vehicle components
Fitment & Compatibility
Designed for the GM 14 bolt front axle used in one-ton axle swaps. Because it relies on trimmable Modular Truss Ends, it adapts to custom axle widths and both differential-drop orientations. Match it with a rear reinforcement such as the 14 bolt Rear Short Truss for a complete one-ton build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What axle does this truss fit?
It is built for the GM 14 bolt front axle in one-ton swaps. The modular, trimmable ends let it work across a range of custom axle widths.
Does it require welding?
Yes. This is a weld-on truss. Keep the housing level, stitch weld in an alternating pattern to limit warp, and manage heat on the axle tubes.
Can I run driver- or passenger-side differential?
Yes. Because it uses Modular Truss Ends, you can configure the truss for either a driver- or passenger-drop differential.
Where do the upper links mount?
The low-profile top lets you place link joints roughly 7 to 10 in. from the axle centerline with the correct link mounts, so you can dial in your suspension geometry.
