![]() These are off a 50's Vette. Probably the shortest set made at 25" 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?

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. |

I'm about to strip these and restore them with new color but you now have me thinking Lakewood orange/red which would also match the Lakewood roll bar, bell housing and driveshaft loop all in red? These are 25.25" front to back. I'd like to find another of the early style short snubbers like the one shown below if anyone has some old stock? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Looks home made to me, as does the extra leaf in the spring pack....

Picked up these Ansen bars for Vega/Monza last night. A little orange paint and they will go on the wagon.
