Jack,

For your '48 3100 with original 7/16" x 20 studs and steel wheels, lug nut torque should be between 70-80 ft lbs. If you are using a wheel different than original steel style (like cast aluminum), you should confirm what that wheel manufacturer specs are and go by their requirements.

Hope this is helpful.

Dan
