Default Body mount bolt torque

Does anyone know if there is a specific torque the body mount bolts are suppose to be set at? This is a 64 but it's probably the same as others. An assembly manual would help but I guess there aren't any to be had. I searched and only one post said 40 ft. lbs. just double checking. Also isn't #3 rubber supposed to be thinner and the bolt shorter? The aftermarket set has them all the same.

Thanks!

Torque all bolts to 25 - 40 lb. ft. - per the 1964 Tempest Chassis Shop Manual.

The 1967 manual states 32 lb. ft., so take your choice.

I ended up reusing the factory bolts because they were still in good shape. None of the aftermarket bolts I've seen were the correct length or shape (pointed on the end).

Thanks!
We'll see if we kept the old bolts and check length. Chamfering the ends is easy enough on the new one, and I can grind them shorter if need be.
