    Ansen made a hell of a set back in the 60’s-70’s. A cousin drag racer had them on his Nomad drag car. They bolted to the spring perches and had an additional bracket that bolt to the front of the main leaf spring. Large bolts attached the bar arms to these brackets. Lock that rear end up so it wasn’t going anywhere as far as wrap goes. They were heavy duty but a hot setup back in the day.

    Hi Dan, your master cylinders you bought are perfectly fine. You were pushing the cylinder in to far when bench bleeding. When you push to far the front O-ring(front of car) goes past the hole and lets fluid in front of the o-ring letting it leak out the front of the master cylinder. Short strokes will solve your problems.

    The last time I saw ladder bars was 78. Timmy had jyst out a line loc on his el camino. After hs let out, he did a huge smokey burnout at the intersection on the corner of school. When the smoke cleared, the cop behind him lit him up with the red and bkue lights of appreciation !
    On my slightly lower pkwered 67 ford shortbed, I put some,(helliweg, maybe?), small coil helper springs. Cured the tramp.
    I also had the loader driver laugh at me while getting a load of sand and gravel. Came out of there with just over a ton load. Steering was very light !
    The driver was laughing because, my truck had patina, rattle can black primer, kind of, where it hadn't worn off. The motor had some chop. He thought I would either break, or not be able to pull away. Lol

    Dan, Daniel my brother.. Once again, excellent work. Car is looking good. I want to give you some old head advice, from an old drag racer..... That big engine makes a LOT of torque. Everything depends on the tire you run. If you're just gonna run typical cheap radials, I think you'll be fine. But, if you use a tire that hooks up, those bars aren't beefy enough. Also, install a driveshaft loop. If you hook up and that front U-joint gives out, you could get hurt. I don't want to see that. Loops are easy to install, cheap and the car is already in the air. Just do it. Its $20 and 20 minutes. Danni is gonna be riding in this car...It might save your rear... literally. Signed - Your friend, Cancer guy. 😊

  • @marinaglaze9357
    @marinaglaze9357 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    Dan ladder bars with leaf spring will create a radial bind because of the different front mounting point of the bars and the leafs. When the bind occurs on a hard launch you will lose traction You fix this by making your axle a floater. This allows the axle to move forward on launch and the ladders become the anchor point for the rear housing.

    • @dogpatchfab

      While everything you say is spot on, as little travel as this setup has, I don't think there's even enough travel to get Into a bind.

    • @markhowley6537
      @markhowley6537 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree. The two different swing radii will be fighting each other putting stress on the axle tube. The only travel will be what is allowed by the spring eye bushing and flexibility of the front half of the spring.

  • @rickandsueq
    @rickandsueq 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There are many ways to add traction control to rear leaf springs. you can use rubber snubbers instead of welding the front pivot to the frame. Consider a second set of leaves at the rear edge of the bottom plate, doubling up on the front half of the leaves makes them stiffer, in effect control arms. Dodge drag racers experimented with facing the ladder bars rearward so they pulled downward on the rear of the frame.

  • @JimmyMakingitwork
    @JimmyMakingitwork 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Ladder bars are super cool old school, but you will need a housing floater set up for them to work as designed. I mean they won't keep the car from being moved, but suspension movement will be sparse since the rear end moves thru suspension travel with leafs on the front bushings and it won't pivot on the same axis with the ladder bars, as is....Assuming you make a solid weld holding the ladder bar mount in place. A couple good launches with traction and you'll know.
    Like door hinges on different axis, hope that makes sense. :)

    These old school traction bars have bind under load. And improvement would be having a shackle at the front mount of the bar or a sliding tube (kind of like a driveshaft slip joint) to allow forward and back movement under throttle and braking. But as you said, little movement and stiffer ride will be the result.

    with the torque you are thowing at that car. the ladder bars are useless unless they are welded to the axle tubes. because the axle will just spin in the u blot. and there is sience to it. you got to have total acr weight on the suspention so they are where they wanna be while under no load. some did not wanna weld to the axle tube, so they made center bolt pads like what the leaf sit on and a mached flat pad on the ladder bar so it could not spin on the axle tube. when dialer corect they are great low budget traction control.

    @tmackinator 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    This may be helpful to get the best results. This is from some installation instructions:
    Now that the ladder bar suspension is installed, there essentially are two suspensions. The factory suspension and the ladder bar suspension. If the factory suspension uses control arms, they MUST be removed. Failure to remove these bars will put both suspensions to a bind against each other. Creating a situation where nothing will function as designed. If the car is equipped with leaf springs and there is no intention of converting to coil overs, you must install housing floaters. (Jegs, summit etc.) These attach to the rear end housing allowing the housing to slide on the leaf springs. This keeps the rear end housing and ladder bar system to work freely through the travel arc created by the ladder bars. Failure to use housing floaters with leaf spring suspension will cause suspension bind.

    I hope you have better luck than I and several other racing buddies had with these type of traction bars. None of us could ever get the U bolts tight enough to keep the housing from twisting inside the U bolts. Plus, they squeak. And the only way to stop it was to grease the axle housing. I really grew to hate these type of bars. The only way to get them to work right was to weld them to the axle. Because of the way these bars are made welding didn't last long. They have to move with the axle. I got a belly full of them. I made my own out of 18-wheeler steering drag links. They worked great. And no squeaking.

    Put those ladders- on your Chevelle...
    in the 60 s, My Brother welded up some 3 foot Ladders for his Gasser 55. I barely remember them, but I do remember, you could barely see them- even my 3 ft.8 year old self !!..

    I love how old school you are with this build, because I am as well, but I think there are better options for rear ends to stick.I hated ladder bars even when they were “cool”. I probably would go with 4 link! Jmo! Carry on

    AND, most times, with Leif springs, you would use traction bars, ladder bars with coil springs...
    But, this is DD Speed Shop, so anything goes. Especially, the norm.

    Dan back in the day I had a 53 Chevy pick up truck I want to put in a 68 nova rear rim at it I use the same lake with ladder bars what the cool thing was when I rode at night because I painted them yellow rear end black my shocks were white and I had a 12 bolt rear rim cover on it and when you ride behind it at night it would glow and it look cool and bad ass take that in consideration call looks great keep up the good work

    I like those bars, nice find! Got to square um up relatively good or the rear goes in a different direction than the front.

    I used roller housings with leaf springs so it wouldn't have leaf spring bind, also used a ladder bar cross member, competition Engineering on a 72 Maverick Grabber with a built 69 351w 4 spd and 9" 4:11
