I've taken everything off of my frame rails (under the hood) and cleaned/ painted them. I'm readying to install a late model steering box and SPC upper and lower control arms. I'm in need of some torque specs for the front suspension (steering box to frame, Idler arm to frame, Upper & lower control arms, etc. Anyone have a list or a go to link for these specs?
Thanks in Advance,
Brad

I'm guessing this is for a '66. Right?

Idler arm to frame - 40 +/- 5 lb. ft.
Pitman arm to box - 140 +/- 20 lb. ft.
Tie rod end nuts - 40 +/- 5 lb. ft. ("Turn in tightening direction only to align slot with hole for insertion of cotter pin. Do not back off nut. Maximum torque to align hole not to exceed 55 lb. ft.")
Tie rod clamp nuts - 17 +/- 3 lb. ft. ("assemble tie rod clamps 0 to 15 degrees forward from vertical down position")
Steering box to frame - 55 to 75 lb. ft.
