GL-5 85W-140 gear oil will work perfectly. Hypoid type differentials were not used in all vehicles at that time. Mechanics were not always aware, when servicing vehicles equipped with this type of differential, as to the special gear oil required. Owner and service manuals cautioned owners about using using the correct gear oil. The modern GL-5 is an appropriate gear oil to use. Do not use anything else in the differential. The transmission can use GL-1 gear oil, but the GL-5 oil is appropriate for this too.
