Ball Joints/Tie Rod end Torque?

[53lowdown]

I'm putting Early classic drop spindles on my 69 C10. Need to know the ball joint and tie rod end torque specs. Anyone know or point me to a reference?

Taking off the existing nuts was easy - they didn't seem to be torqued much at all - don't know if that was a mistake by the PO, or if they really don't get torqued very much?

Thanks

was reading some torque specs in a 67-72 chevy factory assembly instruction manual:rulz: found the tie rod has a torque of 25-35 ft lbs. and the ball joint has a torque of 90-100 ft lbs. i hope this helps
