What is the torque spec for the lug nuts on a 5 lug 1977 F150 4x4? I'm doing 100ft/lb and I've been checking it every 50 miles since I put new rims on and the fronts I can always rotate them about 10 degrees till the torque wrench clicks... I'm nervous....

 

So...

I have now put down the torque wrench and went back to what I've done for years. Use a 1 foot long wrench and step on it. This seems to working as the lug nuts are staying tight.

I'm guessing they should be about 150 ft/lbs on the five 1/2 studs.

 

Here's what Budd specified. Accuride and Kelsey-Hayes are similar. I assume yours are steel, not alloy. On stud piloted nuts they specify dry torque. If yours are not holding torque the studs and nuts might need to be replaced. Stu

 

Thanks for the info! The nuts are holding tight as I tightened them by hand and don't know the torque.
