Ladder bars home made or aftermarket??

check out Sam Griffith's Black 69 Chevelle L78 day-2 build on this site. I believe he has a set of these on his car now.

We have a set of these installed on my sons ‘74 Pontiac - have the “look” of running ladder bars, without any of the “issues”. Pretty neat.

Yep, that is my take on these cool “mini ladder bars”. I think they were probably deemed unsafe at some point in regards to if you had a flat tire in the rear you may be riding on the traction bar (dependent on wheel diameter) as it sticks pretty far down and it would create a skidding effect!!!! So, keep that in mind wrt your son’s car.

Thanks for posting

I noticed Sam's Lakewood bars don't have bushings at the axle mount location so they will work better than a factory control arm.

Sam's car is Top Shelf WOW
