Hello, everyone I'am replacing my driveline support bearing and at the same time going to replace my u-joints . My question is which one do you pick o'reillys list 10 different ones that I can use on my truck ,but the the middle one, that's on it know doesn't have a grease zerk. And the others (2) do just like what o'reillys has. any help would be great!! thanks!!!

1310’s on my 68 C10
No Zerk = HD
Zerk = STD

Either type work as long as they are 1310, at least in my case. Also I went with HD (No Zerk).

Half or 3/4 ton?

This should help you.

thanks H0455, for that link. the parts guy had to pull a lot of them before we made a match with two of them and had to order what we think is the front one. sorry I didn't think about the size, mine is a 1/2 ton.
front one/ tranny -moog 269
middle-precision u-joint 369-83286 zerk
back-precision u-joint 368-83288 zerk

Frankly I do not worry too much about a Zerts or not any more. Most all the OEM's no longer include zerts on their joints. Their are two reasons. The grease it much better and so are the seals. Unless I have mine underwater their is no reason for them IMHO.
Cheers
