Front Crossmember Torque #
I'm swapping an '84 crossmember into my '68. I'm replacing all the bolts with grade 8 hardware.
Yeah, I know they've got to be really _________ tight, but does anyone have a torque # that would give me some peace of mind?

Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.

Factory assembly manual says 55-75 lbs ft for C10, 80-120 lbs ft for C20/30. I can e-mail you the diagram. I'd re-use factory bolts as they are spec'd for the job, I'm not an expert but grade 8 can be wrong for chassis sometimes.
