Question regarding grease for a 67 GMC
Howdy-
I just bought a factory stock 67 GMC (details on my New Member post here) and am doing a complete bumper to bumper service job on it. I vaguely remember reading/hearing that mixing grease is a bad thing - the guy I bought it from doesn't remember the last time he greased it or what grease he used (he's 84). Any opinions on what grease to use for the chassis/suspension/etc? |

Re: Question regarding grease for a 67 GMC
In 35 years of working on cars and trucks I've never heard of such a thing unless you are talking about wheel bearings. Chassis grease won't matter if for the ball joints and such. At the shop and at home I personally use Sta-plex ultra pressure premium red

Quality grease used often saves money and time. If you don't have the factory service or overhaul manuals you can download them at this link. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=558016 Welcome to the board and you have a nice looking truck.

That's what I needed to know! I won't have a problem cleaning the wheel bearings before re-packing them, but I was worried about the chassis components! Thanks!
