Do you have the special bolts with the grease fittings? These are cool looking even if they aren't as effective as the regular ladder bars. The will look good in Day 2 fashion.

I do not have the special bolts. Any leads? Could put regular bolts on a more aggressive maintenance cycle for grease. Plans are to just clean the bars up as the underneath of my Chevelle is original. Should add to the knuckle-dragger image I'm looking for.

Cool ladder bars. I don't think they will help much but they do remove one rubber bushing. You can try them and see how they effect the over all handling. The Lakewood bolts are hollow I would question there strength. I guess they were worried about bind if the grease gets washed out thus the service fitting. They remove the rear sway bar if the car was so equipped. Cool bars thanks for posting.

They appear to hang below the bottom rim of the wheel, not good if you get a flat tire. I recall that being a no-no with some sanctioning bodies or vehicle safety regs. They do look cool though.

Yeah, and we all know it's a small price to pay for looking sh*t hot!

Good eye its in the NHRA rule book and may be in other sanctioning bodies rule book.
They are day two cool though.

They should have called these traction bars "wheel-savers"!

The Original TRACTION ACTION bars Were Tampo'd....Black Ink/Paint Stamp .
With or w/o a Lakewood decal.
Very hard to find with original tampo ....

@ questions.
1) Application? Guy I got them from dragged Camaros, but he hoarded everything. Can anyone confirm the application/usage?
2) Does anyone recognize what brand and age these are? They appear to have medium blue paint under the black.
As always, Thanks.
