Default safety loop

Anyone know where I could get a driveshaft safety loop for our trucks? I suppose you could get a generic one, and adapt it, but I just thought someone might have some info on where to get one specifically for the nbs trucks.

I had one custom made for my old RCSB. I wish I had pics

It went from frame rail to frame rail with the loop in the middle.

I am using a slightly modified Lakewood driveshaft loop that is welded to the bottom of the truck.

Hey, did you get the cam alright? I'm guessing you did.

Anyone with half a brain and some welding/ cutting experience can make one. You can use 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick steel or even seen rebar used once.

it wouldn't take a whole lot to make one if you had a torch and welder. a generic one would probably work too.
