Are there grease nipples on u-joints

Hi guys,
I'm working on my 85 Z28 and was wondering if these cars came with grease nipples on the ujoints?
I can't seem to locate them but maybe I need to put it on the hoist for a better look. I see the grease nipples at the front suspension points but that's it??
Thanks...

if you dont see any fitings then they are the sealed u joints .....

they could have either depending upon what was installed last time they were changed..

no problem sometimes its the little things that get us...LOL


if you dont see any fitings in the ujoints then try and put the car on stands and rotate the driveshaft with the car in neutral to get a look on the other side of the ujoints but more than likely you have sealed ones installed in your car..
