Er, I think we need another description of the '67 factory traction bars vs. the aftermarket version that is most often associated with the word "Lakewood" (the yellow ones). I'll take a stab at it:
The '67 factory bars look like solid "I" beams and run from metal ears welded to the underside of the axle to a plate mounted to the bottom of the floor pan just inside of the rear frame rails. Thus the OEM bars run INSIDE of the springs (almost 1/2 way to the differential) and prevent fore and aft axle movement or axle twist
The Lakewood style bars are boxed metal that connect to the axle DIRECTLY BELOW the leaf spring and have a rubber snubber at the front. Thus they are not mechanically attached at the front end and they prevent leaf spring wind up as the front snubber restricts spring movement.
High performance '67 Camaros got 2 styles of single bars (both totally different from the Firebirds) mounted on the passenger side only.
