Hi all. Have a 1968 C40 dump truck with 2 speed rear end that I am putting rear drums back on after replacing wheel cylinders. After some looking I haven't been successful at finding the wheel bearing torque procedure. I know the bearings have to be preloaded but not sure what to torque it to. Any input would be great as the truck needs to go on a road trip in 2 days. Thanks.

Not torqued but snug and then back off a little, same idea as a front hub/bearings.
