Hello to all my Stovebolt friends. I have a question. I recently welded spring perches on my 1949 truck (3100) It now uses u bolts to secure the rear axle housing. It has been changed to an open drive. Does anyone know what the torque should be on these u bolts. They are round bent and 1/2" fine thread. I have them tight but would like to torque them down correctly. As always, thank you.
