Default Torque specitications help on my 77 s/b

I replaced my old front control arm bushings on my 77 S/B with Urethane bushings, and can not find in any of the books I have the Torque specitications for the bolts that are bolted in to the front and back end for the bushings for the upper & lower control arm, of the arm-pivot ( not the bolts to the frame). can anyone help me with this. Thanks Rob.

my book calls for 60 ft lbs. Make sure the threads are clean and use loctite so they do not back out.

Be sure to torque the bushings at ride height only.

That's good advice...for rubber bushings only. Poly bushings rotate, so you can torque them properly at any time.
