The 14 Bolt Rear Truss (SRW) from Artec Industries is a full-width, low-profile weld-on truss for the GM 14-bolt single-rear-wheel axle. The 14-bolt is a popular one-ton rear swap, and this truss ties the entire housing together while giving you a flat platform for upper link mounts, ideal for a linked rear on a heavy trail rig.
Key Features
- 3/8" mild steel truss top with 1/4" mild steel interlocking gussets, precision CNC cut and bent
- Full-width design reinforces the entire axle tube, not just the link mounting area
- Low-profile shape locates link joints with ideal geometry, roughly 8 inches from the axle centerline
- Flat mounting surface for clean, repeatable upper link placement
- Sleek profile is easy to fit into custom chassis and clears surrounding components
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the GM 14-bolt rear axle in single-rear-wheel (SRW) configuration. This is a weld-on truss that ships bare for welding to a clean housing. It pairs naturally with a 14-bolt pinion guard and upper link mounts to finish a linked one-ton rear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit a dually 14-bolt?
This truss is designed for the single-rear-wheel (SRW) 14-bolt housing. Verify your housing configuration before purchasing.
Is welding required?
Yes. It is a weld-on truss supplied as bare steel. Clean the housing, fit and tack the truss, confirm your link geometry, then weld it out.
How do the upper links attach?
The flat truss top accepts weld-on upper link brackets such as the Artec Truss Upper Link Mounts, letting you set link angles for your build.
Is there a shorter version?
Yes. If you do not need full-width coverage, Artec also offers a 14 bolt Rear Short Truss. This full-width version provides the most complete tube reinforcement.
