Can anyone verify the cab and radiator support mount torque for C-10?
I searched and the settings all over the map. Not sure what applies to C-10. I got the kit from Classic Heartbeat.
Few I've read: Radiator Support: 35-55 ft. lbs. Also read 33 ft. lbs. Front cab: 45-55 ft. lbs. Also read 70-90 ft. lbs. Rear cab: Seems to be a consistent 35-55 ft. lbs. Thanks

Proper installation requires you to torque front cab bushings to
70-90 foot pounds rear cab bushings torque to 35-55 foot pounds The above comes from the factory service manual and is correct for both 2 & 4 wheel drive 1/2 ton - 1ton. They give a range on torque so that you can adjust the body line from cab to bed & front fender by varying the amount of torque applied to the bushing. If the body lines are not within plus or minus 1/8" then body shims should be added for further adjustment above the top cab mount bushings. The radiator support mounting bolts torque to 35-55 lbs, and you then if it's a 67-68 version you fold the heavy duty triangular washer over to lock nut in place after install. Paul Jr @ GMCPauls |

Thanks Paul. Spoke to a guy earlier today who says basically snug (like everything else) until the dry run is nearly done. Going to be fun. Fit it together, drill for moldings, only to blast it apart again.
Anyone know the purpose of the 90 in the bottom front cab cushion? I thought maybe it faces out, but I don't see a rhyme or reason. They're facing different directions on my C20.
