Are traction bars ever right on a Mopar??

I ran 'um on my 65 Belvedere when it was a stick car. The chrome ones.Going for that 60's vibe.
Bent the crap out of them.That was about 14 years ago. They were on for about a one weekend at the track then went back to the snubber. I think they weren't made as good as the ones from the 60's.If they were better material I would have left them on.
The other thing is a front retainer if they are low to the ground. In a panic stop they may dig into the pavement.
