SOLD! I have for sale a nice pair of rear frame reinforcement bars that have been bead-blasted and powder coated in a cast metal color. These install between the lower and upper control arms in the rear suspension to reduce frame twisting. They are not new parts and have a few scratches and nicks from installation. I'd like $90 + shipping from 77057. Here's some pics:

What years 64-67 or 68-72.. They make them aftermarket like $90

 

These came off a '71 442. I think they fit '69-'72 A-body cars.

 

These reinforcement bars were for cars with 455 engines. They were automatically included with the W29 upgrade.

And yes Gerald, there are aftermarket for around $65, but I have no idea what the quality is. I put them on my car because I changed up the rear gears and didn't want wheel hop even though it's only a 350.

They will fit 68-72 A body with no problem

 

Will these bars fit on a '66?

 

Randy, I don't believe they will. They are specific measurements from the CA to the mount location on the body. The 66/67 axles are a different width than the 68-72.

 

I was aware of the difference in the axle width, but don't these bolt to the frame mounts for the CA's? (I've seen separate arms for sale for 64-67 and 68-72, but as we all know, the vendors don't always have the right info). Just curious.

 

I have bought them they are exact copy of the arms. Ames performance sells them they are Pontiac parts and lots of Pontiac parts fit Olds.

Are you saying the 1964-67 and 68-72 are the same?

 

Guys, we're getting off Rodneys Thread topic of parts for sale. We should continue this on PM or separate thread.

 

I don't mind the discussion as long as it provides useful info about the application of these parts...but I do hope this leads to a sale-lol!

 

All A body 68-72 frames are (nearly) identical, that's why the GTO folks advertise the same parts as the Chevelle and Cutlass, etc etc.
64-67 is different. I don't know what the precise difference is in the rear, but I have noticed that every aftermarket company advertises a different rear control arm brace for 64-67. Even the companies that use adjustable braces on 68-72. So that pretty strongly implies these won't bolt in on an early car.
But, lots of things can be accomplished with a grinder and a welder.

To be somewhat on topic, the value here is the powder coating. The repop stuff will be bare or have some cheap paint on it.

 

pls. get back to me

In '66 Pontiac found out that GTOs running slicks at the strip were occasionally ripping the upper rear control arms out of the frame. The frame reinforcement bars prevent this.
They don't do anything to prevent wheel hop.
