Go to Grease
 

What grease is everyone using to grease the zerk fittings on your ride?

A grease gun.

Use a high quality chassis grease like this:

Oh, what grease?
That's a different question than the one initially posed.

As responded in post #2, any high-quality chassis grease will do the trick on these old Fords.

I still like to use the same pail of green chassis gun & cup grease I got at the corner Sears store a long long time ago, far far away. Great for smearing on gaskets too. 8^)

Borrowing a quote. Now that is funny right there. I don't care who you are!

I've been happy with Lucas Red & Tacky grease for chassis lubrication.

I used to love the Sears grease but they took it away from us.

I get the tubes from Tractor Supply, if it is good enough for farm machinery, it is good enough for my old Ford!

I don't think that the kind of grease is that important. I remember that I was surprised to find out from the owner's manual that the lubrication interval in my '51 coupe was only 1000 miles. With an interval like that, I would think that frequency of lubrication trumps grease quality.

Lucas Red and tacky especially down here in the desert heat. Continuing with Tubman, my father taught us kids ALWAYS 1,000-1,500 miles in the rainy NW. 6-8 months out of the year the streets are wet and washing the suspension. Continuing his thought, more about purging the moving parts of water.

Has anyone found a good substitute for the discontinued rear roller bearing grease?
