The part number listed on chevytrucks.org is a bit out of date-I saved the
following comments on the subject as to update so guess I better get to it
huh... The GM part # for steering box lubrication is 1052182, as mentioned
on the current page, and is no longer available from an email from Bill
Hanlon. I think he tried to locate Grade 0 grease from Mobile, Exxon but
found it to be available in 5 gallon tubs only and expensive stuff.
Michael Mendonga commented the following: I just ordered lube for my '54
Steering Gear Box from Restoration Supply
in San Diego, CA - Phone 800-306-7008. $8.00 for 500 ml (2/3 of a typical
bottle of wine). The lube is for these old boxes and is 1200 weight.
In a later email he was satisfied with it.
