    Squeaking from driver's front wheel area

    Following up - I disconnected the speedo cable and the sound seemed to go away. Drove it for a bit disconnected then this past weekend i re-connected and squirted some graphite lock lube in there. So far so quiet! Hoping this is the cure. Thanks all for the suggestions.

    Squeaking from driver's front wheel area

    Worth a try. Rally wheels - I have had the hub cap portion off and made no diff. I'll pull the trim ring, easy to test. Thanks - keep the ideas coming. Stupid noise is under my skin.

    TH350 debris - toast?

    So reading between the lines here would be that continuing to drive it as is may cause more damage? Would the damage be from more clutch material coming loose and getting into the works?

    Thanks. It's definitely a 20 footer! Previous owner had hauled seafood (or so the story goes) and the bed floor is rotten. A few rust through spots on the bed sides and a few bubbled areas on the front end. More or less par for the course on a nearly 40 year old truck.

    TH350 debris - toast?

    Hi All, I'm new here and generally new to GMs. I bought a '79 Silverado w/182k miles, pretty sure original TH350 transmission. Drove home around 20 miles with no issues. In city, highway and stop & go traffic. Drove it some more around the neighborhood that day and transmission started...

    I just bought a '79 Silverado shortbed a few days ago. In pretty good overall shape other than a rusted out bed floor. Looking forward to making it mine... -Roger
