It’s going to go in 85 Chevy k10. Frame is good just want to put it on for safe keeping. Wonder if anyone has recommendations on which is better. Thanks

Hogback doesn’t have any in stock at the moment. I plan to give them a try, but if not back in stock by the middle of Oct, I’ll buy an ORD one.

I have the ORD brace so I can't comment on the Hogback one. Definitely made the steering feel more solid.

Word on the street says that the fella running Hogback is a former employee of ORD. I'm betting that they are a very comparable product.

Allow me to muddy up the water so more….

Autofab also offers a bracket. I believe this company is who’s actually making the ORD bracket and their competition motor mounts.

I bought ORD's brace (not yet installed), and hadn't seen the Hogback stuff at the time. I'll say that the ORD welds are absolutely beautiful. The website photos of the Hogback Fab one don't look nearly as nice IMHO.
