Steering box bolts that go into frame Steering shaft coupler bolts Drag link nuts Power steering bracket bolts to the engine and motor mount Thanks in advance. Got the old box off and ready to install the power steering goodies  ------------------ 1969 C20 4x4 with 4" lift and 35's residing near Rose Hill, Kansas Yukon Jack's Web Pages

I don't really think these require torqing. I've always tightened them down until they feel tight enough.
