OK, maybe I'm going to embarrass myself by showing my lack of mechanical knowledge but I'll provide an input anyway. I had the same squeaking problem on my '67 and it drove me nuts. I greased every fitting that I could find but no luck. Finally I had someone bounce my car while I tried to isolate the cause. Well, it turned out that it was coming from the upper control arm - specifically the bolt for the arm. There is a grease fitting on the front of the bolt but nothing on the back. I sprayed a bunch of lithium grease around the back of the bolt and no more squeaking! Brilliant! E.
