'67 manual says 120 ft-lbs for upper ball joint stud and 215 ft-lbs for lower ball joint studs for a C20. I doubt it changed for '68.

You should really get one of these service manuals.

Call these guys to get one.

Not being snide, just that this book will be your friend as long as you own your 68.

Re: 68 3/4 ton torque specs?

What does the chassis service manual cover? IE, if I have a 68 with 72 suspension, would this still be applicable?
