Re: Vintage Traction Bars
Bill - It appears you have 2 different driver side bars. The shock mount would be on the other side of the bar for a passenger side application.

Re: Vintage Traction Bars
I agree, 2 different bars. Here is a set I recently bought that accept the J-bolts but do not have the rear u-bolt support. I have another set identical to these that have the rear u-bolt support and the triangle underneath for the j-bolts.

Re: Vintage Traction Bars
Sam, It doesn't look like one was cut down, also they are weathered the same so I think they are a matched set. However, this stuff is close to 40 years old so who knows. I just want to figure out if these are supposed to be this way before I take 2 inches off the longer. These are very hard to find so I don't want to mess them up.

[/ QUOTE ] I kept thinking about this and just now looking at the last post I remembered one shock is mounted on the front and the other on the rear (I believe the passenger gets the front mount) so they actually will work but that still doesn't answer the question about the difference in length.

Re: Vintage Traction Bars
I still don't see how you can say that - look at the pictures of my car.
The first 2 are the drivers side - the shock is mounted on the outboard (left) side of the bar. The second 2 are the passenger side - the shock is mounted again on the outboard (right) side. Look at Bill's attachment - picture 2 - both bars have the shock mount on the left side.
