Artec Industries 70-85 Chevrolet K30 K20 Chevy Dana 60 Front Truss

Artec Industries is known for making well-built components for off-road vehicles. This front truss is designed for the Dana 60 axle found in 1970-1985 Chevrolet K30 and K20 trucks. It's a solid addition if you're strengthening your front axle for tougher off-road use.

This truss is made from 1/4 inch thick steel, which adds significant rigidity to the Dana 60 housing. By reinforcing the axle tubes and the differential center section, it helps prevent bending or cracking under the stress of larger tires, heavy-duty off-roading, or increased horsepower. The design is intended to fit the specific contours of the Dana 60 axle, making it a direct reinforcement for a critical component.

Installing this truss is a common step when building a more robust front axle. It requires welding to properly attach it to the axle housing, so it's best suited for those comfortable with fabrication or working with a professional shop.
