    What can I do to get rid of the chasis squeaking. I don't see any grease fittings under there.

    The first step to FIXING a noise is LOCATING it. You need to find exactly where the noise is before you try fixing it. Take some time one weekend and drive it, or get a friend to drive it, while you work on locating the noise. THEN we can come up with a solution to fixing it.

    Jack up the body and pry loose the bottom leaf spring. Buy a bicycle inner tube and cut a flat peice aprox 8" long and gorrilla glue it to the top of the bottom spring.according to the post it won't squeak after you put preasure back on the spring.

    Look it up in the threads, the inner tube works better.

    Than the way you have it in your pic doording. The mod I saw used one long thin piece of inner tube running length wise along the top of the lower spring.
