Driving my Highboy every weekend lately, notice a lot of people sure appreciate the old truck and sure runs nice, really enjoyable cruising in it.

Thanks fatherdoug, appreciate the help, at least I was in the ball park.
Think I'll leave it at 90 for now, drive it a bit then retorque and see how it ends up.

Was wondering if the front u bolt specs are different than the back on my early 77 F250, with a 3" front spring and 9/16's u bolts.
I come up with 110-130 ft lbs for the rear only, wasn't sure if the front were the same, just didn't want to over torque them and break an ear off the cast bottom...
My wife just came back from Vancouver area, said the snow and ice were crazy and accidents everywhere, plus nobody expects it so no snow tires.
We live in northern Sask, so 4ft of snow is normal and -25 normal temp to 3 weeks of -43 lately, but we're used to it here, would be hard to get out for...
My 77 F250 was just doing the same and was my signal light switch, so bought another, pulled the wheel changed it and works great, hope yours is an easier fix.

Sweet truck, real nice, cool right hand drive and love the tailight setup. The engine is strange over here, but all that matters to me is lots of horsepower. It sits just right over the tires too. Wow.smilieFordlogo
