Anyone know what these TRACTION BARS really fit?

Pair of early design traction bars, something like I had on my first 57 Chevy years ago. Owner is fishing, even suggests they may be for a Chevelle. Chevy II in crayon marked on one of them, but thought someone might be able to identify them by sight.

Here's a picture facing the other way up.

Nova/chevy II those look like the Bill Thomas/Nickey traction bars. I know the Bill Thomas where painted blue.

Very cool pieces

With both shock mounts forward of the axle, wouldn't that indicate '67 F body ?
Did any Mopar/Ford leaf spring cars use that arrangement too ?
Trying to "imagineer" a way to bolt them on a Chevelle...:hmmm:

I concur they look to be '67 F-body Bill Thomas traction bars. The color should be like the Pontiac silver-blue engine color. I have a set of these but the front bracket is not as far forward.

Yes, they look like 1967 First Gen Camaro NicKey / Bill Thomas traction bars.

Did you buy them ? They are sold. Heck after learning they were connected to NicKey, if you didn't want them, I was going to buy them.:biggthumpup:

Wasn't me....

I just thought someone would know them by sight and would appreciate the heads up.

^ sounds like someone did :wink:

Whoever it was that bought them, no need to be shy. Be proud of making a good score buying them. I'm a parts swap type of guy. If I didn't want them to be bought or used or just plain hoarded, I wouldn't have mentioned them, because they'd be taking up space in my basement, with me wondering how I ever did without them.

:hmmm:

How much did they sell for?

The listing was for $189, but it looks like a lower price offer was accepted.

$175

I take it they are on the way to Shorewood IL ...:wink:

Now how do you know that. Wait...why did I ask that? :haha:

Great score Dan :biggthumpup:

As sad as it is I did not get them. I had an offer but he accepted the $175. I should have just hit the buy it now. they were a steal sometimes I am just too cheap.

Bummer...

Would have been a great score to add to the stash.

I’m starting to think Bill Thomas used the same color paint on these as they did on their 67 factory headers.

So how does a person go about getting a set of those NicKey bars from GSS shown in Stefanos link ? I don't see anything about them on their web page.

They are listed on his EBAY page.

My Bill Thomas traction bars have the front bracket moved back slightly which is how they were in the 1970-1/2 catalog. I don't know what exact year the change occurred.
