Trans U-Joint nut torque specs
 

Checked Van Pelt's site and did some other searches but can't find the torque specs for the nut that holds the front u-joint to the trans on my '39 pick up. Anyone know the numbers? Thanks.

Was there one? I just make them good and tight with a drop of locktight.

I was figuring that goodntight was about right. Thanks.

Don't forget that fat spacer washer.

Thanks for the reminder. I bought a new washer, bolt, and lock washer assembly from Joe's. Torqued it to 30 lbs. finished some wiring issues and should be able to reinstall the motor with the new to me trans and repaired front cross member on Friday.
