Sorry, but how many lube points are on the front end of a 1/2 ton 2WD?

Tie rods and ball joints were the only greasable items on my original parts, idler and pitman were not greasable. The replacement idler and pitman I used are greasable. (moog "problem solver)

Depends on how many cheap replacement parts you have, grease all you can find.

Please list ALL grease/zerk (if zerk is the same as a grease fitting) fittings and locations on a 2WD truck.

Hi Stewart:
My 76 C-20 2wd, 350V8, TH400 auto trans, has the following grease fittings:
1. Upper control arms(4)
2. Lower control arms(4)
3. Upper and lower ball joints(4)
4. Steering idler arms(4)
5. Tie rod ends(2)
6. Forward drive shaft u-joint(1)
7. Rear drive shaft u-joint(1)
8. Drive shaft slip joint(1)


This is 21 grease fittings...some models of 1976 may not have had #8 because of different transmissions. Some models may have a grease fitting on the steering shaft between the steering column and steering gearbox.
Regards,
Henry
