I mixed together really well in a old ice cream tub a tube of 00 grease and half a cup of amsoil. Scooped it into a sandwich bag sniped the corner and squeezed it into the gearbox until it was full to the plug.
Thanks to those that replied. That is what I will use. Next question, was the Steering column painted the same color as the interior, or were they painted black? Thanks in advance.

What I use. At $6.19 a quart the price seems fair. One tip, this stuff is flowable, but SLOW. I put the plastic bottle in a pan of water and turn the heat on low. About the time the water starts to bubble it's ready to head to the shop and fill the steering box. Without this step, you'll squirt a couple thimble fulls into the steering sector fill hole, it'll look full, it's not....take a screwdriver, stick it in wiggle it a bit and when you pull it out the 00 grease will slowly ooze down, keep repeating all the while asking....Why did't I just heat it up?

The steering column in my 1951 3100 is interior color both inside the cab and on the column in the engine compartment down to where it attaches to the steering box.
