I'm looking for the torque specs. for the nuts on the u bolts that hold the front and rear axles to the leaf springs on my '39 (they would probably be the same from '37 to '39).

    There are no torque specs listed in my mechanical procedure manual i would say make them tight if they are half inch 90- 100 pounds of torque.

    Step-down and Jet service manuals specify "Rear Spring Clips" using 1/2"-20 U-bolts to torque down 70-80. These are the same as the '39 (including fronts).

    Thanks Chuck!



    It didn't require much torque to loosen those nuts after the jam nut was removed. I was a bit concerned because I'm replacing the old nuts with new grade 8 units.



    My manual doesn't have any torque specs for it either. My Motors manual has some torque specs but I loaned out and it hasn't returned yet.

    Thank you Mr. Clark!
