Day 2 Lakewood Traction Bars

[JoeC]

the Mr Gasket Div of W R Grace stamp on the box of these bars dates them between 1972 and 1981
from what I read, Mr Gasket and Lakewood was owned by W R Grace 1972 to 81.
Then Joe Hrudka "Mr Gasket" bought back the names and a bunch of others in the 1980s and sold them again in the 1990s

That is what my catalogs show. Also never remember the bars having the logo's on both sides. All the original bars I had or redone had the decals/stickers only on one side. Dave Miller will probably know for sure.

The bar they are selling is different than the early bar in the ad they show. Notice how the bar extends behind the axle on the early bar but not on the newer version they are selling?

Concerning the sticker facing out, it looks like the sticker is on the shock side of the traction bar, but if you would happen to re-locate your shocks inboard (which is very popular to do on '67-69 Camaros) you need to swap the Traction Bars from side to side which puts the stickers to the inside then.
