One bar that I didn't see much in this entire thread was the Hurst AdjustaBars. I know they weren't terribly popular but they did look kind cool.

That looks like what I've done to standard Lakewood bars in the past. I'd take a square tube that fits inside the existing square and slide it in to make the bar longer and reach the spring eye where it should be. Then just weld it.

What kind of bars are these? I hope they're Traction Action since I put the stickers on. I know they're Lakewood, the guy that put them on the Camaro back in the day confirmed it.

Edit: looks like they aren't. I know that even if they were, we don't have the JBolts. It's a U-bolt setup. Shoot. I'll probably still run the decals anyways.

I don’t follow your reasoning. Those are J bolt style.

Oh, they are? I got a little confused by an ad on a previous page. That's a huge relief. I love the stickers but I'd feel a bit like a poser if they weren't the J-bolt bars.

Traffic Action wouldn't have the angle welded to the bottom for the J bolt bracket, would it?

Is that what that upside down triangle looking thing is?

Yes. Welded to the bottom of the bar.

Did a lot of guys buy the J-Bolt kit for the Traffic...Action bars back in the day?
I remember way more Lakewood bars with the slanted front than the perpendicular/straight front like the Traction...Action bars.
