Man! I would be happy with "Cruises smooth on 485 at 70 mph", forget creaking! My 80 lets me speaks to me all the time after 50mph "hey, slow down there Andretti! who do you think I am!"
The bushings in the pic are of the link arms and, while they will rattle some, they generally don't creak. The bushings on the sway bar will likely still be intact and might even show little sign of wear but will creak when they dry out.

They look/feel dry, no cracks in them. I'll disconnect the links and drive around before ordering stuff though.
Love your 62....that is my favorite color for that model. I have a red 88 in excellent condition but the dream is to switch it out for a charcoal gray!Driveline vibration is good. Cruises smooth on 485 at 70 mph.
Lug nuts holding good, will be ordering some new ones @NCFJ recommended.
Now there is a "creak" coming from the front right suspension when I'm turned and hit a bump (like turning into my driveway). Will look under it this weekend to check the bushings.
The joys of daily driving a 30 year old truck.
Send an email to @beno if you're looking for OEM lug nuts. He's the resident East Coast OEM vendor of choice for many. His info is all over MUD, and, specifically, in the vendor section (General - Miscellaneous).Love your 62....that is my favorite color for that model. I have a red 88 in excellent condition but the dream is to switch it out for a charcoal gray!
Where do you recommend getting lug nuts? Needing some for my daughters and son-in-laws 62 we just helped them find! Found some good rims locally.....been sitting in the guys shop for 20 years! Need mud flaps, bumper caps and rear carpet....any recommendations as to where to find?View attachment 1285456
I think it's leaking freon. When I pull back the foam and spray it with soap solution it bubbles.The foam at those fittings is only there as insulation and to prevent chafing of the lines. Is it leaking freon at those spots or just water? If it's just weeping condensation then the system is not necessarily compromised.
I think the truck is ruined, gone, not worth fixing. Because you are my friend, I will give you $1000 to take it off your hands. Call of it "good fortune" money.
Wait, you guys back from your trip? How did it go? Cool pics and memories I hope.
Check your rain gutters. They may need to be resealed. The top corner of the windshield seal is a high risk for leaks as well.
