Traction bars were only 67. Manual trans cars got 2.
Yep, and that's the simple rule of thumb. There is actually one engine/tranny combo that got no bars (6 banger 1 barrel carb, auto)
There are 2 other distiquishing features for '67 - the unused upper control arm "eyes" cast into the center section and the setup for mono shocks with an alighnment pin in the center of the perches.
You can really prove it by showing him the 2-letter axle codes for the two years from the factory documentation. The letter combos are completely different between '67 and '68 so you could look up the code on that particular rear axle and go "voila".
