Torq specs for trailing arm and track bar

I have a 1963 C10. I'm replacing the bushings in the trailing arms and the track bar. What are the torque specs for those two areas.

I've always used 55lb/ft. on dogbones and track bars and have not had any problems. As to the "correct" specs, I am not sure, sorry.

Re: Torq specs for trailing arm and track bar

The spec I have for the trailing arm pivots is 140 ft/lbs. The track bar is 60 ft/lbs IIRC.
