How right you are! The flat fenders use the F-375 front axel. I was just discussing my efforts to try something different than the correct grease. I gotta try and screw a good thing up once in a while. Yes, I believe some of the Extreme Pressure (EP) additives in hypoid oil contain sulphur, which will attack bronze (including winch bull gears!) though I have a Dodge service manual that specs "gear oil" for these applications. Maybe back then gear oil did not have the EP additives. The AGMA oil is rated for bronze worm drives, so I'm comfortable with that. Rob
