Yeah, get on your back and look! Besides the front end steering parts a 2 wheel drive only has the ujoints for the driveshaft that might be greasable if they are not OEM.

Ujoints, idler arm, pitman arm, ball joints, a few that come to mind.
Grab a grease gun, crawl under the truck and anything with a nipple, grease it.

Come on Xray, you make it way too easy. How are they ever going to learn if you do all the work for them. BTW if he doesn't know where the grease nipples are located, do you believe he will know what the parts are by name?

Yea, but those are a special type of nipple. You can't just reach out and grease them wily nilly. They need to be finessed before they can be greased. Saves an awful lot of pain and aggravation. The zerks are so much easier, but no where near as much fun.
