Re: 1964 GMC Palomino Tan Survivor

I've put about 1500 miles on it since I finished the rust repair and I've been chasing a few annoying little problems. I'd been feeling a vibration around 50-55mph and figured it was from knocking the weights off the front wheels when i didn't have the steering stops set up correctly. Got it aligned and front tires balanced, and the shop told me that one of the front wheels was bent. Sure enough, that bad boy was egg-shaped. Decided to bite the bullet and got another set of Wheel Vintiques Series 62 to match the back, except 15x6. Unfortunately, the vibration is still there, but intermittent. Next day, I picked up a bolt in a rear tire so had to take that in for repair. While I had it up on stands I checked the rear for a bent axle or wheel, but everything looks OK. Doesn't seem like a driveline vibration, I can't feel it through the shifter or anything. It's more like a shudder. Anyway, will keep looking for it. I still feel the "catchy" spot in the steering but I'm just learning to live with it. Overall I'm happy, but I have a few more things I want to work on when the rains come.
