'78 Chevy service manual states: Drive spindle support to torque arm 30 ft/lbs. Strut rod to spindle support 75 ft/lbs (plus additional torque necessary to line up cotter pin hole). Happy to help. Hope this answers your question.

Thanks, guys. I finished the passenger side T/A today. I'll hopfully get the second TA finished tomorrow.
I'm always on the van steel site looking at suspension goodies and I didnt see where they have a tech section or torque specs. However I might be on a different van steel site. Hint Hint!!
Thanks again.

I tend to be overly careful with tightening stuff, mainly because I work a little here and then a little there. That and too many years working on military/aerospace stuff, "if it isn't documented, it didn't happen"
Van-Steel, There was a page in the middle (ok on page 9) of their cat. (looks like 59 in the new cat)

It's got some handy numbers to print and stick in your binder

Thank you Mr. Mooser,
I've seen the PDF catalog many times and felt no reason to open it up cause I had access to the site. Lesson learned.
Thanks for the information.
