The skinnier bars were Traffic Action and called Traction Action if they had the triangular piece underneath for the j bolts.

What is the date on the catalog? So... "Traction Action" sticker didn't originally come on rectangular bars? It's such a cool sticker that I put it on anyhow! I removed these from the Boss 9 that I am working on - blasted & painted them. They were on the car from at least mid '70s. I intend to put them back on if they don't interfere with the rear sway bar.

Bergy the Traffic Action bars (no J-bolt option-no triangular tab on bottom of bars generally came with just the triangular lakewood decal.

I just sold a set of NOS early Ford 9&quot; Lakewoods Traction Action with the rear spring clamp as in the ad 1 3/4 narrow bar. In regards to the Traction Action decal. I have seen them both ways. Sometimes on the bar from the factory and sometimes as a decal stuck inside the instruction sheet..no rhyme or reason back then

Finally got the Ground Grabbers (Refurbish-Rebuild) finished, not bad for $25 Swap meet (Cores) find, however, tooling, steel, welding, machining, hardware, plating &amp; reproduction stickers later and they are Road ready (still need to get some U bolts made)

Go ANSEN!

Wow! They look great, sort of what I envisioned when I saw this set for sale in Pa - but they will take a lot of work as well!!!

Going thru stuff collecting dust on shelves. What is the application for the two bars toward the bottom in this photo? Thanks!
