I can't believe that something as simple as tightening wheel nuts is, that its impossible to find in my many manuals and books or can't I see the forest because of the trees ???
I have a 1950 3100 short box pickup.

I looked through the manual as well, could not find a listing for lug torque. However, the '54 manual does show a spec, 50-60 ft/lbs.

Well I just checked the glove box manual ( both Canadian and U S version's, its quite extensive. It even instructs you how too remove tire from rim and reinstall it (as if).
But nothing at all on putting the wheels back onto truck - Amazing.

I think this is the information on settings Bill refers to

I recently needed this information for 9.00x20 wheel on a 2-ton.
I had to borrow a 300lb torque wrench.
