WHAT COLOR SHOULD MY TOW TABS BE?

[PxTx]

So your tow tabs were yellow on day 1 and black on day 2. What color is your car?

Thanks to the fellow who read this thread and sent this my way. Lakewood tow tabs, bars, etc.

Anyone know the ''correct''color code yellow?

In a rattle car I found a spray paint called NOW made by Sherwin Williams. (#21206 Sunshine Yellow) I have done several sets of vintage Lakewood traction bars this color and its the closes I found with much scrutiny. True Value Hardware Stores. Have fun!

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 &quot;day 2&quot; 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.
