What grease for front axle?

Im rebuilding the front axle on my '80. I am not sure if I have the correct type of grease to pack the birfs and bearings.it is lithium w/ moly. Is this correct? If not can Someone in the right direction?

Seems like Lucas Red or Green "Stuff" is the consensus

I use Lucas Red myself. I find colored grease easier to clean up later.
