The Ford Barn

I need a little help and advice. I have not gotten my Fordor on the road yet since I am slowly working through the mechanics to make sure things are safe and sound. Today I pulled the left rear hub off to check and inspect the brake pads and to install new springs (I recently completed this on the right side).
While I cleaned a very little amount of grease out of the right side, the left side is ENTIRELY COVERED with grease/oil. I have already bought new grease seals for the inside of the hubs, I am wondering if there is another seal in the axle tube near the differential that I should be worried about.
Thanks for all your help and I will likely hold off ordering any brake pads or anything until after the Iola swap meet as I am hoping to visit and possible buy what I need there.
