1968 reinforcement braces/no hop bars
Did the factory install "reinforcement braces" (see pic) on all 1968 A-body cars with a 4 speeds? What if it was a 3 speed manual?
If so I am a little disappointed that they are missing on my car. Were these sometimes removed for exhaust clearance or? If they are supposed to be on the car I would be looking to buy a pair of OEM ones. I have no wheel hop in either car but always looking for correctness. How about "no hop bars" (see pic). Were these aftermarket or a factory piece? Thanks.

Don't know about applications for the frame braces, but the no hop bars are definitely aftermarket only.

These braces, I believe, were all manual trans cars. They were added reinforcements for driveline shock. Chevelles had them also and literature states that these were installed on all manual applications.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
