Default I found 7 grease nipples...

on my truck's front end. None on the rear. I cleaned them all off so I could lube the truck but I need a flex-hose for some of them.

Anyway, am I close to the correct number or are more hiding from me under the grease & dirt?

my 4wd upper ball joints have grease fittings on the top.
the tops of the bottoms are covered up by the axles, so i suppose they don't have fittings.
my new Precision brand axle u-joints have fittings.
my track bar does.
my tie rods, drag link, and pitman don't. i guess they are original.

SO, I'm revisiting an old thread of mine. I can still only find 7 zirk fittings. I guess I'm blind. Can someone diagram it out or show me on a picture?
