I removed the bed on my truck to have it prepped for paint. I was starting to do some touch up work on some of the normally untouchables under the truck and notices that both of the mounting brackets for the rear shocks were not tight. These brackets are held on the frame by rivets here lies the million dollar question, was that normal? When I put weight onto the frame it makes a squeaking noise, that is how I found the issue. I would like to eliminate as much as the "Old Rattle Can" syndrome as possible since I have as I can tell put new body mounts and gaskets as called for and some where they haven't been called for. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 549 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 549 | They used rivits on my '58. They're kinda tough to get out, but once out, just replace with bolts. At least that's what I did. | | |
