Anybody familiar with this truck? My main question is do I have to install the oil deflector(?) on the axle ends? If they are in place, how does the oil get into the hubs and subsequently to the bearings?

Not sure what you are asking but most of the trucks of that vintage had grease packed wheel bearings on the steer axles. (Just like a car did). If it has a solid steel hubcap with 3 or 4 or 5 bolts holding it on than that is what it has. Stemco type oil filled bearings were very rare in those days.
The drive axle bearings get oil to them the same way all the new trucks do.clausland Thanks this. -
2 story Falcon. What kind of axles, do you know?

This one has the centerpoint steering offset and stemco oil filled hub cap and seal.

This one has regular steering offset and grease packed steers.

I think I read, the H series was one of the 1st Ford trucks to have a diesel from the factory.

Here’s her truck. She stretched it a little and singled it out on FL airliner rear.
clausland Thanks this. -
Sorry, should have specified, the drive axle. It has some type of outer axle seal the looks like it will keep the oil from getting to the bearings. It’s kept in place by the hub/axle shaft studs so you have to have two gaskets.
