UCF Ford Sterling 10.25"/10.5" Rear Truss System

Ford Sterling 10.25" or 10.5" rear link truss.

Mounting upper links on a Ford Sterling 10.25" or 10.5" rear axle? This truss puts a 4 1/2" x 10" platform 7 1/4" from the tube centerline, tied to the tubes and diff cover, with no welds on the cast steel housing.

How it goes together

1. Weld the included tab to the included Sterling 10.25"/10.5" cover, then install the cover.
2. Set the truss body on the axle tubes.
3. Bolt the truss flange to the cover and weld the truss to the tubes.

Specs

• Link tab platform: 4 1/2" × 10"
• Platform to axle tube centerline: 7 1/4"
• Truss body: 1/2" carbon steel plate, heavy enough for any amount of horsepower
• Flange tying the truss to the cover: 3/8" steel plate, joined with 1/2" hardware

What's included: truss body, UCF Sterling 10.25"/10.5" heavy-duty diff cover with weld-on tab, diff cover hardware, and the 1/2" bolts and nuts that attach the truss to the cover.

Finish: ships as bare steel, so you can weld it on, place your link tabs and weld it all up.
