Very clean and creative way to re mount my Pac Brake motor and ARB air locker motor! This is the kind of thought and skilled execution you get with Bryan @ Fabworx Offroad!!

It is a Dynatrac ProRock 60. I choose 4:11 gears and it came with posi trac. I also added a ARB air locker. Takes about 3-4 weeks to build. Got mine in about 4. Bryan's welding skills are second to none! Please check out Fabworxoffroad.com and Fabworx Offroad on Facebook! If you own a Duramax or older model Chevy, live on the west coast, want to straight axle your truck I highly recommend looking into this shop! I'm very picky on who touches my truck!! Thanks fellas! Merry Christmas!!

Chevy 1925, sorry about not getting right back at you! As for trussing the axle, my builder thought it wasn't necessary due to to the size and strength of the axle. I live in the mountains and drive 70/30 dirt to pavement and see real nasty washed out roads with dips and potholes you could sink a stock truck in!! The truck was done because it was necessary to make DD more comfortable, quicker and fun. I will eat the roads around where I live now instead of getting eaten... Bump stops, AMP research steps and some PIAA'S lights are coming next. I always wanted bump stops because I see future dune and Baja trips which means the truck could get air born! A project like this takes awhile and I have some other things like scratching the frame down front to back to be painted black that are being done also. Adding more on the table meant me not seeing my truck longer and I need it back so until next time!

mmmmmmm baja style jumps with a ~4000-4500lb front and a none trussed front end.... sounds like something will happen..

other wise looks very nice!

Malibu795, Anything can break at anytime! Have you seen the Doge mega cab on youtube with a Carli kit jumping 6' and driving away like nothing? That's not the only Dodge I've seen get airborne without a trussed axle. I don't have any plans to jump my truck, but I would be willing to bet that if it did get airborne up to 4' it would handle it. We'll see though and if it brakes I will fix it and truss it!! I will post more pictures of the truck finished and at work when it's done. Thanks for your input!

Hello, I believe I have scored a 1978 F350 dana 60 front axle.:thumb:

I'm just getting started so I'll get all the info on my profile soon.

I'm not new at this and I think I want leafspring because I pull a gooseneck.
