No Zerks on Rear Driveshaft

85 year old guy who barely drove it. I have all of the documents and maintenance records.

 

Glad you found it. Sorry I wasn't more help with this.
Hopefully you can get it taken care of.

 

If, and that’s a big if, I ever make it 85.
The chances of me crawling around under the truck to grease the joints is 0 to None. I’d probably opt for sealed joints. Because I don’t trust that the zerks will be greased every service. And like I said, I’m not crawling around under there to look. Not at 85 years old.

It is better to have sealed joints than greasable joints that are never greased.

 

Confucius say man who buy taco with no greasable zerks get shafted.

 

Guess the yoke's on him then?

 

This is pretty telling:
