Lube points, 36' pickup

I have a 36' pickup with an 8BA. This truck was built in the early fifties from a pile of different parts. Besides the 8BA it has early juice brakes and steering box and column from a 40'-41'. Mostly a 36'. Trying to find a chart for lubrication points, my Motors manual does not seem to have this info. I have found several zerks but am quite sure there are more. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a chart of these locations? Because of the origins of the truck, I know that there are surprises to be found. Just would like a chart to begin the search. Thanks in advance for any tips. Q
 
Mart- I saw that posting earlier. I think old Henry is a 47' or 48'. Would this info apply to a 36' ? Or be close enough? It's worth getting underneath and looking.
 
Got underneath the truck and found a few more points to grease. Got all front end zerks, clutch arm, pedals. Not sure of the origins of the leaf springs, very heavily sprung. No grease fittings on these. I have been spraying them with oil and it seems to help. Went out for a drive down the coast to enjoy the gold weather. Good times!
 
Here's one I found somewhere.

FlatV8- thanks for finding the diagram. Just what I needed. Part of my my problem with this truck is figuring out what year the parts are that I am working with. Your see, this old boy was put together from parts scrounged from the wrecking yard. It works just fine for what it is but the guys who put it together are gone now. The detective work keeps me on my toes.
I found a leaking seal on the front of the torque tube while crawling around under there. That will be my next project. Possibly anotherror thread in there.
