The Chevy 60 Front Truss from Artec Industries is a full-width, low-profile weld-on truss for the GM/Chevy front Dana 60 axle. It reinforces the entire housing against bending and provides a flat, stable surface for mounting your upper links, making it a foundation piece for a linked front-60 build running big tires and hard trail use.
Key Features
- 3/8" mild steel truss top with 1/4" mild steel interlocking gussets, precision CNC cut and bent
- Full-width design spans the entire axle for complete tube reinforcement, not just a link pad
- Low-profile shape locates link joints with ideal geometry, roughly 8 inches from the axle centerline
- Flat top surface gives a clean, repeatable platform for upper link mounts
- Low, sleek profile clears surrounding components and eases fitment into custom chassis
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Chevy/GM front Dana 60 axle housing. This is a bare, weld-on truss and does not include a hydraulic ram mount; if you need an integrated ram platform for full-hydro steering, the 60 Chevy Front Ram Mount and Truss is the ram-equipped version. Installation requires cutting factory brackets as needed and welding the truss to a clean housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What axle is this for?
It fits the Chevy/GM front Dana 60 axle housing, full width. It is not cut for a hydraulic ram; choose the ram-mount version if you are running full-hydro steering.
Do I have to weld it on?
Yes. It is a weld-on truss that ships as bare steel. Fit it to a clean housing, tack, check geometry, then fully weld.
Can I mount my upper links to it?
Yes. The flat top is designed as a mounting surface for upper links. Artec Truss Upper Link Mounts bolt-pattern-free weld onto that flat surface for a clean 3-link or 4-link setup.
How do I mount coilovers or shocks near the axle ends?
The Coilover Tabs for Truss bridge the gap between the inner C and the truss so you can locate shocks near the very ends of the axle for stability.
