Re: Question on Dana Camaros
Mystery Chevelle
See attachment. Those traction bars are not custom built/Dana. They are part number 20187 from Lakewood and were first manufactured in 1974. I have the 1973 lakewood catalog and they are not in there and the 1974 catalog list them under their "new products for 1974" I also have a used set in my basement and they are 100% identical to the ones on the car in the photo. Every little dip/recess is the same.
The only way Dana could have put them on the car in 1966 was with a time machine set for 1974. Have you considered the Chevelle in question may have had traction bar from another manufacturer originally and then later replaced with these models by another owner later?
If you look at your pic you can even see the renaments of Lakewood yellow paint inside the bar.
