Can somebody tell me how many zerk grease fittings there are on my 69 c10 front end? I don't see any on the back of the truck so I guess the only lubrication fittings are on the front? Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Near as I can recall 12 on the front end. Don't forget the driveshaft.

Yes u joints if they haven't been replaced with non greasable ones. You can use the same grease.
