Bolt Torque for Cab Mounts?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just installed new cab mounts but I can't find the bolt torque spec in my shop manuals.

Does anyone have this figure for a 68 C10?

Finally found the specs in the Factory Assembly Manual....
Fronts = 70-90 ft/lbs
Rears = 35-55 ft/lbs

Guess they don't want those fronts coming off, eh? That's a lot more than goodintight!

Anyone know the torque specs on rad. support bolts

5557ID · 08-11-2009, 12:56 PM

35-55 ft/lbs on the rad supports..........

Is there an FAQ anywhere on torque specs? I know manuals have a lot of them, but there are quite a few that aren't in the manual....Like Cab Mounts.

I found the specs for the cab and rad support mounts in the 68-72 factory assemby manual.

I don't recall seeing anything related to bolt torque specs in the FAQ Index...
Here's the link though:

BTW....for anyone who hasn't already done so, installing the new cab mounts made a huge difference in my truck's ride quality. They also cured some squeaks and rattles that I never could isolate

Pretty simple job and the parts aren't that expensive.

I just torqued mine until the air wrench wouldn't turn any more.......

. Would the same torque specs be used on the poly mounts as you would use on the originals?
