New To The Board
I'm new to the board and new to the world of Chevy Trucks. I've always been a Ford man, but when it came time to look for an antique vehicle I fell in love with 67-72 model Chevys, so I bought a 72 Chevy C10 long bed. I just finished working on the front suspension and I have a question. The upper control arm shaft end nuts were loose on both sides. According to the information I have, I retorqued them to 70 foot pounds. Is that the correct torque? Thanks for your help.

Re: New To The Board
Welcome, you couldn't have picked a better year than these 67-72's. that's one clean truck you have there. I'm sure someone will chime in on your suspension shortly.
