Hi,

Last weekend I changed the oil on my '52.  While I was putting a wrench to 
the drain plug when I had occasion to look up.  Staring at me on the outside 
of the frame, (driver's side) was a grease nipple.
Having lubed the chassis based on the owner's manual last November I went 
back to see if I could find anything on it.  I couldn't.

Looking at the owner's manual now the grease points where I can expect to 
find nipples are:

Kingpins top and bottom
Steering rack
Tie rod ends
Water pump
Driveshaft fore and aft

So I'm wondering what this nipple does, and what the service interval is.  
How many pumps on the greasegun to lube it would be helpful too.

Lastly, I'm wondering if there's any other ones on the car that I've missed, 
(maybe there's one on the passenger side too?).

Thanks in advance,

Scott Allen
