Suddenly blue eyes aren’t so desirable at this range.

 

It looks like a bullet went through it

 

Mama’s ride has gotten squeaky again. She’s no happy.

I lubed up everything I could see. Might be the shocks.

Holy moly, not easy to R&R like my Ford.



the mechanic in the video look soooo smug, like you should pay $$$ at the dealer, but if you’re cool like me you can do this in 30 mins.

 

That is more like a strut isn't it..?

 

Yes, looks like it. I don’t think it the root cause of the rear squeak

 

I put new shocks on the back of the panel and it no longer sounds like rusty bed springs in a brothel...

 

Thats what this sounds like!

 

Shock change might be the answer, sure made a difference on the panel..I used to feel like a pimp driving through town...lol

 

Panels have that reputation

 

Maybe why my parents made me get rid of the one I had when I was 14..

 

Such a shame. Panels have feelings too.

 

I had a lot more back then when the tow truck came and took it away...

 

My dad has a 1953 gmc panel wagon-- It is actually my step moms- They had some disagreement about it-- so it came out of the shop -- It is mostly done body work wise-- but now it just sits in the barn.

 

Well at least it's where it's out of the weather, you think you'll ever get it

 

I could probably have it for the asking-- but i dont really have any place to put it--- Dad has about a 100ft x 80 foot barn- with another 20ft x 100ft lean too on the side-- I have a small garage. He is storing my 10 year olds 1960 falcon Ranchero-- My 1962 f100 -- lots of buggies and wagons- a sleigh- 3 antique manure spreaders- and so many parts for other stuff -- he is working on an 1800s drill that used to be used for planting wheat between the corn rows. Its pretty cool! If they move to town or pass away it will be a big loss of "stuff" everything I mentioned he spent countless hour rebuilding- repairing- painting- restoring.
