The stuff you listed are in fact lube points, but most were not greased points, nor did most have grease fittings.
upper and lower ball joints (C models only)
inner and outer tie rods
upper and lower control arm bushings
Idler arm
Pitman arm
all u-joints
slip shaft on drive shaft if 2 piece
Some steering gear boxes will have a zerk, but I have yet to see one on a 10 - 30 truck of this gen.
manual shift trucks may have a couple on the Z bar, but I am unsure of this.
That should be all the grease fittings/zerks on your truck.
