Torque Specs - 71' C20 axle u-bolts

I have flipped the pages of my assembly manual till I'm worn out. Would anyone know the torque specs for the U-bolts that hold the leaf springs to the axle on a 71' C20. I have a Dana-60 rear end. Thanks in advance.

I've never torqued them, I just tighten in a criss-cross pattern until tight, pretty bloomin' tight.

Torque spec:
9/16" - 120 to 130 lb/ft
5/8" - 170 to 180 lb/ft
