If the snubbers are original they are of later vintage.

I'm pretty sure that they still make them. They really are more of a show car/street machine/cosmetic item to give the look of slapper bars and I've NEVER seen a fast GM A-body with a set of them installed.

Agree. I can't imagine they actually "do" anything productive since on an A body the axle windup is controlled by the 4 link rear suspension.

These exact same bars were on Mark P's 70 LS6 when it arrived for a restoration.

Not to start trouble, but in the early '90's I saw an El Camino at Lebanon Valley Dragway running 10.80's with a set of these. Street car,(Truck?), to boot. But I have to agree that just like the bolt-on "Ladder bars", these don't do much.
