As I drive my 69 sundial i hear a loud high pitched noise coming from the front of my bus. This happens usually when i am using the gas pedal but also sometimes when i use the breaks or clutch. What could this be I need to fix it asap since this bus just turned into my daily drive since i crashed my other car.

Could be many things. Wheel bearings are a freqeusnt souce of mysterious high pitched sounds. Is the sound reletive to speed? Does it only come on when you touch the brakes? Might be a brake shoe sraping or worm out. Do you have stock tires? Wider ones might be rubbing in certain driving situations.

Spray some Lithium Grease on the pedal springs and let me know what happens.
