highboy front hub questions...

couple of questions about my 77 F250. The front hubs don't seem to lock in. I pulled apart the hubs and cleaned out the old chunky grease, but I've heard about different grease to use. Should it be a lithium based or thicker bearing grease? Also, the metal gasket that goes between the hub and spindle came apart in a few pieces, where can I find new ones, as well as the paper gasket? Can't seem to find them on LMC. Thanks for the help.

I always use anti-seize instead of grease because grease seems to freeze in the winter time and as for your gasket you can use silicone it will work just fine.
