Ya, that's about it. Unless you happen to have greasable spring pin bushings, which is highly unlikely. Your axles(diffs) use gear oil, a 75w90 or 80w90 depending on climate. Your wheel bearings must be manually removed, inspected and packed with a good high temperature grease. And you absolutely don't want grease, gear oil or anything inside your brake drums, especially brake fluid, if a brake cylinder goes and it leaks to the braking surface of your drum, the drums and pads are history even if they're new. They must be replaced.
