Barnes Truss On A Dana 44 Part-1

Lots of prepping and fitting of the nine pieces that make up the Barnes Truss. Pieces were tacked and TIG welded in place. Part-1 follows the process just short of the final step which is attachment to the axle tubes.

Is it just me or was that factory track bar bracket weld cracking?

[@reconjeeper0321]

Yes… last video shows it being replaced with a 1/4 inch Barnes…
Good eye!👍🏻🇺🇸

what putty did you use to protect the threads from weld spatter?

[@reconjeeper0321]

Hi… I used electrical duct seal. Worked pretty good… then used plastic brush to wipe out. Good luck
