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!

Anybody?

They replace the lower control arms on a Chevelle. I've got an article somewhere. Will post tonight if I can locate it.

Ew, I was hoping that was the application! Should just bolt right in after removing the stock LCA, right? Is the ride significantly altered? What is the affect on the suspension? Any pix of it in place? Would appriciate the article Paul - thanks!

Thanks Paul. That pretty much explains things. Wonder how these stack up against the ladder bars in my original photo above? What is the date of the magazine?

I see they mention Monte Carlos in the article, so must be at least late '69 or '70.

It was Chevy Power cira June 1973. Most other ladder bars are attached to the axle tube in a fixed position.

This one's got 2 pivot points. Probably similar but cooler looking to a good boxed lower control arm. Probably need something more to control wheel hop.

I wouldn't it expect these smaller TBs to be as effective the Ladder bars, but they sure look cool. I think I'll put these in the mix for day-twoing my '69 Chevelle. Thanks again Paul. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
