Default Torq Spec-Radiator Support to Front Cross Member?

I'm probably just blind, I looked thru the service manual torq section several times and I don't see this one listed. It's the 2 large bolts that come up thru the bottom of the front "V" shaped cross memeber and connects to the bottom of the radiator support. Both pieces were just replaced and these are new bolts.

Thanks for the help!

I looked in the AIM manual for my 74(Page371) and the bolts I think you mean are torqued to 40 to 60 ftlbs.

Thanks Dale.

I keeping forgeting that the AIM has torque info directly on the drawings. I don't see the exact bolts that I was trying to identify (probably due to the radiator support drawing being for an Al radiator), but I agree that the other bolts shown going to the main frame rails (which are much smaller diameter) are 45-60 ft lbs, so I'm going to go for the upper end of that range.
