Balljoint Torque Specs

I'm in the middle of swapping spindles and I can't seem to find the specs for the balljoints on my '71 C10 Suburban. Does anyone have them handy? Thanks in advance, Michael

Talking Re: Balljoint Torque Specs

Upper ball joint nut torque specification is 50 lb-ft, tighten to align cotter pin if necessary but don't exceed 90 lb-ft

Lower ball joint nut torque specification is 90 lb-ft, tighten to align cotter pin if necessary but don't exceed 130 lb-ft
