A structural truss ( 3 ) with crimp/clamp ( 18 ) and method of making same wherein the truss ( 3 ) includes disposed U-shaped channel chords ( 2 ) and struts ( 1 ) interconnected to one another at alternately extending apices ( 6 ) wherein successive segments of the struts ( 1 ) have U-shapes and inverted U-shapes at their mid-sections and flat apices ( 6 ) at their respective ends. The ends ( 4 ) of successive segments of the unit lengths of the struts ( 1 ) and the chords ( 2 ) have holes for the insertion of a tapered pin ( 9 ), thus precisely controlling the length of successive trusses. The truss member ( 3 ) also has vertical load-bearing strut sections ( 17 ) at the end of each manufactured length of truss ( 3 ) to support a cantilevered section of chord ( 10 ). The crimp/clamp ( 18 ) is crimped and clamped onto the chords ( 2 ) so as to clamp the struts ( 1 ) to the chords ( 2 ).
