I'm sure you'll get more than one answer, but I'll tell you what works for me in my '57. Joe has the part number for the steering box lube, but I use ordinary chassis grease per a 1958 Chevy Service Bulletin which directed dealers to drain the factory lube and use chassis grease instead of the specified (thinner) lube which caused a lot of steering box leak warranty due to the effects of radiated heat from the exhaust manifold. I use ordinary brand-name (Valvoline) 80W90 gear lube in my T-10 and in my Posi diff, with two 4-oz. bottles of GM Posi additive in the diff. -
