Looked at the manuel steering box on my 70 C10 to add fluid. I don't see a fill plug? All I see is the adjustment screw and lock nut. How do I add fluid?

I think you add 80 90 wt gear oil through one of the 4 bolts that hold the top cover to the stearing gear

I have a 68 manual gear box and found out the book says chassis lube.

Not sure if 70 is different ?
