 Thanks.

    Same joint used on all '36-'54.   Should be easily obtainable, same as Ford, Chevy etc.   Take it into NAPA, they should have them.

    The NAPA u-joint 369 has a zerk to grease it.  After finding grease slinging out of my current u-joints, I’d much rather have a non-greaseable u-joint, as I’m assuming a new one would still sling grease.  Has anyone found one that will fit?

    I figured I’ll just take it to the place that can check the balance on it in town & have them replace all 3 u-joints on the driveshaft at the same time.

    It’s not the zerk, the grease comes out of the rubber that’s supposed to hold it in.  Doesn’t matter, I’m going to just replace them all.  

    I’m so sick & tired of all my old cars sh-ting all over my garage floor… I swear they leak from ever possible place, which is why Permatex “The Right Stuff” is my favorite garage tool…. Right behind my hammer!
