Make sure it is the leaf springs. If so, you might try this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/9744366/412/LEAF-SPRING-POLY-LINER
Also, lots of springs for Chevy cars and trucks offered on eBay. Bill in Oregon _____ From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Ioppini Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2013 10:59 AM To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [old-chevy-truck] Leaf Spring Suspension I have a 38 Chevy car with leaf springs and the pair in the front constantly squeak. I have used all kinds of oil and penetrating oil on them, but they still squeak. Any ideas as to what I can do besides remove them and pack grease between the leaves??

Not too expensive as I recall and they are just like new. They ever painted them with some type of black coating they use on springs.
