Re: body squeak
Mine has the same squeak, i figured it was the insulators under the front springs or the gasket between the back of the fender and firewall.

Re: body squeak
My 66 has the same squeak. I found it between the front bumper where it attaches to the car. Just needs tightened.
Re: body squeak
