I have looked everywhere for wheel nut torque specs for my '53 3600 with after market "Rally" steel wheels. They have 8 lugs with 1/2" hardware. The best that I can find is 75- 85 ft/lbs on Tire Rack http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=107 Does anyone have proper specs?
Thanks
John

Closest I could come up with was the spes given in the '54 manual, which says 50-60 for 1/2 through 1 ton. That seems a bit low to me, especially with the '55 manual showing 65-90 for 3/4 and 1 ton. Given a 1/2" stud, 75-105 would ba a good range.
I would suggest rechecking them after you put about 25 miles or so on them. Usually, steel wheels aren't an issue with this, but it's better to check that have one come loose.
