Re: WHAT COLOR SHOULD MY TOW TABS BE?
The guy who bought all the tabs from NMW was Don Raleigh (oilnspeed on eBay). He bought two large pallets full around 2003/2004/2005 ish. From what I remember Don got the tabs and someone else bought all the traction bar but I could be wrong. Maybe the bars were all gone when Don got there. I can't remember.
I bought maybe 15 sets from NMW back in the late 80's for $15 each and it took me forever to get rid of them. I was asking $40 and no one wanted them at all. This was pre Ebay and pre internet and I sold them through places like the Round Up free be ads etc. One set I gave to a friend who has them welded onto a 3 point home made lift cart behind his farm tractor. Like I said no one wanted them at the time. It was not until the mid 2000's that I finally sold all I had.
The Mopar ones sold the best. They have been into "day 2" since the 80's...and actually many just never left the 70's to begin with.
I believe the original colors were silver first, then yellow until Lakewood told them to stop and then the glossy burnt orange color at the end.
