It's a '55 Plymouth, so no ball joints(its a king pin front end) The rims are the original rivited rims, I'll see if I can dig up some other...
Thanks for the replys. The sound was there before, and after, the bearing change. The ones I took out were the originals. I replaced them...
Hello, my name is jeff, and I have squeaky bearings. My wheel bearings are squeaking, and I can't make'em stop. I can't tell which bearings are...

Thanks for the info :)
Here's a pic from the maiden voyage of Hawkeye and Hot Rod Pat's new '53 Chevy, take from my '55 Ply. They'd only had it a week at this point,...
Thanks for the comments guys. To be fair, it's REALLY clean and shiney in that pic ;)
Honestly dude...Wow... :D
Haha...since you asked so nice :D [IMG]
The (open)differential in my '55 Plymouth is pretty worn and howls abit going down the road. Doesn't help any that it leaks a few drops a day....
Fresh off the camera :)
Looks good Ryan, only complaint I have is my little old moniter requires that I scroll sideways to see everything.
Haha...I'm still so surprised I actually won that I had to tell my internet home away from home too :D
I almost never take my '55 Plymouth to judged shows. It's a daily driver, not a show car. There's nothing special about it, it's just very...
The factory rear springs are pretty flimsy, if you ditch the torque tube you'll need new/better rear springs as well(or they'll wrap something...
The number on the head, 6.5.53 is the date it was made. The DN should have pointer looking thing cast under it somewhere pointing to either D(for...
Like the title says, I need to know how many amps a 6v Overdrive solenoid draws. Anybody have a ballpark figure? Thanks.
I need a new manual steering box for my '55 Plymouth. I know that the 55-56 Dodge/Plymouths will bolt on, but is they have been diffucult to...
I am so far out of the loop it's not even funny. If I'd known you were working on that, I would have stopped by when I was in the cities last...
I know what you mean. My car is static dropped so the frame rails are 3" off the ground, with only 1.5" on the skid plate, and I look at the car...
Although they're getting harder to find, I seem to remember the Volare/Aspen torsion bar front being a pretty good fit. I also agree with the...
I've got a solar powered trickle charger. It's made to simply plug into a lighter socket. I think it was under $20 at Harbor Feright. Just put...
My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think it's pretty basic. Get the coller off the bottom, and the shaft should slide out the top. Here's the pic...

Extend the rockers and fenders down an inch. It's subtle enough that most people won't notice it, and much less work than channeling :)
15,000 miles and counting on the tires in the video :) [IMG]
With modern engines, computers are your friend :) You'll loose power and ALOT of gas milage by downgrading to a carburetor. It can be done, but...
