No the truss isn't done yet, gotta think of ways to make it stronger.

[DTB]

looks nice brad

[Hyena]

Thanx.  i can't really do anything else on the rear this weekend sine i don't have a torche or the shock mounts.  guess i will work on cutting apart the front and making the winch fit.

[Cumminz]

looks better with the bed on. im not a fon of flat beds. but it is looking sick dude

[skipnrocks]

Looks cool, I like how the axle mounts wrap around the axle alll smoth!!!

[Austin W]

Torch and BFH maybe?  Dunno only way I can think of doin it...

dosn't look like theres any coloring in the metal from a torch tho

[skipnrocks]

True but it doesnt look like theirs coloring from the welds either so maybe it was flap disced after install?  Either that or I would worry about the welds.  But with the pic its hard to tell with the shine...

[Duffil]

I say he used heat/BFH/and a wire wheel or flap disc...you can tell because there is no rust there, and it it present on other parts of the same plate.

[Hyena]

Ya, i just beat it with a hammer adn wire wheeled it after i welded it.  everything will be welded with flux core so i have to clean it pretty good afterwards.  it wasn't that hard to beat the metal.

I didnt see any pics of the underside, are you doing the same thing to he underside?

[Hyena]

no, it's already bullitproof.  those things aren't ripping off.

[Big Pap Dog]

Hey man, what about something like this to finish up the rear truss.  You could make it so that there is a tab along the top tube, and have a removable piece bolted from that tab to the diff cover bolt pattern.  Just an idea.  Check www.diy4x.com ....they might have something for 60's, but all I saw on their site was this "Backbone" truss for 14 bolts.

[Bazzi]

I can´t belive that I haven´t replyed to this earlyer.....

nice build man. those 60´s are looking  great.

[Hyena]

I have thought about making some that bolts to the diff cover.  i can't use the bolts because the flatbar i put on it is in the way.  but i can make something else work.

Thank you Bazzi!

this thing is lookin SICK!

[Reynolds]

I would do a rear truss similar to this one. I highlighted all the critical bolts you would need to build around in order to still be able to remove the cover but it seems to work out pretty good.

[Yota4life]

That truss would be sweet.

I like your heading. Hows the front look?

ya thats basically how the old one was on this toy axle. just do that on the 60.

[skipnrocks]

Would the rear bar be to reinforce the truss?  I cant imagine bending an axle front to rear.

Ya its just to reinforce the truss so the top links dont go anywhere

[locktup]

Datts Da Shizzzznit B!!

[Hyena]

its a little harder to do since there has to be room to take the diff cover off and the ring gear out.  i had thought about it but didn't really want to go that route.

[Hyena]
