Hard to be certain from the pics, but the mounts on yours look a bit different both at the pinch weld mount and the mounts to the wheel wells look to be 2 bolts per side versus 4 bolts.
Certainly that bar give a great cool factor for a day 2 street cruiser.

Yeah, it definitely changes the entire look of the car without any extensive modification needed to install. It also allows you to still use the rear seat as intended vs. the Lakewood. The Hooker bar also has the biggest diameter tubing out of all the vintage bolt-in bars I’ve seen.
The only difference between mine and my buddies is, like you said, his has four bolts to secure to the wheelhouse whereas mine has two. The difference could be a design change. It’s hard to tell in the initial photo because it’s sitting on the grass but the pinch weld mounts are the same, using two through bolts per side to secure. I’ve added an additional close up. Either way, it’s definitely a Hooker show bar for a second gen f-body. Most of them were chrome as it didn’t cost much more than the standard black bar. When my buddy found his, he said it must be the only black one on the planet, then I found mine
