MotownMadman, the traction bar you describe sounds like the factory one installed on the SS396 cars and other hp model Camaros in 67. Check out the picture attachment. Does it look like that? There should only be one on the passenger side of the vehicle. This picture is from a Z28, but the one on the 396 was the same, others used a round bar and different axle bracket..............RatPack............

Rat Pack, I bought these cars in Texas recently, I have yet to bring them home so after recieving your message I went and reviewed the video I had took of all of them, I was mistaken, the previous owner descibed them as duel traction bars, round, I didnt get under the car with the video camera, but the floor on both sides under the rear seat has been modified, it appears to have square panels that were cut out and replaced, or modified in some way, the cowl tag says 4N. Thanks.

I had a Canadian 67 RS/SS that had the dual traction bars. From what I was able to find out, the passenger side was a factory piece, but the driver's side was an "I" beam shaped bar that I was told was common on the 67 Firebirds. Maybe Canada added these bars but most likely an owner add on. Hope this helps.

Hey Jeff...being Canadian and into 67's, I can tell you that "Canada" didn't install the second bar [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The I-beam type were on Firebirds.
