Torque specs for steering link

Just put the steering link in my 69 4x4. (Going with 72 parts) Just want to check what would be the specs on the 3 piece steering link? The 2 bolts on the collar and the tie rod ends.
Thanks.

Awesome, thanks. Which book are you getting the specs from?

I didn't find it in the '71 Chassis Service Manual but I pulled these specs from my 1974 Service Manual. I can't remember when the single piece link was replaced with the three piece adjustable one.
