Torque settings cab/radiator mounts

Factory manual says 35-55lbs for radiator supports. I think I see 70-90 for front cab mounts and 35-55 for back cab mounts. 20 lb spread for both. Torque to middle of the spread? 72 C10

Re: Torque settings cab/radiator mounts

Mock it up using the low settings until your body lines and gaps look good then torque to fine tune them , Just because your using new mounts doesn't mean it's going to drop into place , You'll be moving things around to get it nice . :chevy
