I think those NOS Keystones are bitchin'! They may be a GM bolt pattern but I've always associated Keystones with being at home on Chrysler products for some reason. In fact, I can remember being at the Street Machine Nationals back in the '80's (the CC Nats!) and a friend and I made a point to count how many Mopars we could find with Keystones and the number was astounding!

Genuine Suspension traction bars? Has anyone had any experience with them? I've got a lead on some NOS bars, but have yet to see what they look like.

The only thing I see is form the Reading Eagle newspaper 1977 featured in a Boscov's ad.

Genuine Suspension was a Ca. based company that was owned by Jim Thomas. Jim Thomas had a few funny cars- A Fiat AA/FX, an AMX and a Mustang that I remember...along with a top fueler, too.

My friend Mark sold him a 1966 Nova...which went into storage

He died of a heart attack at the track.

As far as the traction bars, we had a few pair on different vehicles. They worked fine. Most people ran the yellow traction action ones though.

Genuine suspension got a big kick from the van and mini truck craze...it seemed like all of the vans and mini trucks had the chromed traction bars on them

Bruce, Thanks for the info. Do you know if these are GS bars?

That looks a lot like them...though most of them I saw were chromed. The mini truck and van guys also had a chrome &quot;sway&quot; bar that connected between the two traction bars [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I love the old autometer stuff. Notice the red anodized finish under the paint? Remind you of any other tach senders out there?
