differential cover bolts torque?

Anyone know the torque specs for the cover bolts on the differential?

Spec for 1974/75 is 23 ft-lbs. I don't know if it's different for other years.

I went back & checked in view of the difference- sorry, I read the Light Truck spec. The spec pages at the back of the '75 Chevy Overhaul Manual aren't clearly marked. I've done this before. Correct spec for Corvette is 50 ft-lbs. Pages are now marked. I think I'll recheck torque on my differential cover.
