These are off a 50's Vette. Probably the shortest set made at 25&quot; long. They are the later style, cause the wider spring pad and lack of a tail. They are also equal in length. What do those other ones measure without the tail? I can only guess that the unequal set-up was an early thing, before slapper bars were properly sorted. </div></div>


Paul is the orange color correct for the later bars? I thought all lakewoods were yellow?

They were all yellow..you can sorta see the yellow paint under the orange. The lakewood traction action decals were sometimes put on at the factory and sometimes not. I had 5-6 boxes of NOS ones over the years and about 1/2 of the decals were installed...the rest were loose decals inside the box

I suspect the original owner of these bars painted them orange to match something on his car.
