Unhappy U-Joints have no grease fittings!

I went to grease my u-joints the other day and could not find any grease fittings! What is up with this? Am I missing something? I have a 95 F150 2wd with 70k on it. Did the factory u-joints come with no grease fitting? This just seems kinda funny to me. Does/did anyone else have u-joints like this?

I am going to replace my u-joints in a couple of weeks with new ones and make sure there is a way to grease them.

Factory u joints haven't had grease fittings in over 20 years. Higher quality replacement brands will have grease fittings.

I had to replace the ones on my 92 at 60,000 on it. The one at the rearend went out and squeaked like hell. It was more for the greaseable one, but worth it.
