Lube! and lots of it!

So I am starting to reassemble my 66 after a complete 100% teardown. Everything has been media blasted and painted and I find myself now needing to re-lube all of the factory lubed parts during installation. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of lubricants that should be used and their locations? If this list doesn't exist we should consider putting one together.

Here is a pic of how she sits at the moment.... The anticipation is killing me...

It's actually Hugger Orange (69 Camaro, Chevelles, etc)

I'm sure I can read through all of the manuals and find what I need. I was thinking it would be nice to have it on a single sheet with all of the locations listed... Like door tracks, window regulators, steering column, brake pedal arm, etc. I know there is a lot of different quality lube/grease products out there and am curious what everyone tends to use.

Re: Lube! and lots of it!

In the manual is a map showing all the chassis/suspension points, as I recall.

Dunno about the rest.

Wow, I'm not usually a wide white fan but your wheel, tire, and cap selection looks awsome on your truck.

Yep, factory assembly manual.

Basically, grease anything with a fitting.

Re: Lube! and lots of it!

I usually use a high quality, high temp, synthetic grease on every type of roller/ball bearing, bushing, ball joint etc. Then I pick and choose which sliding surfaces, like windows etc get lithium grease.
