F350 Lugnut torque?

1973 f350 2wd, single cab & 12ft flatdeck, dual rear wheel axle. What is the torque for the single FRONT wheel lugnuts on this truck?

The Books of Haynes & Chilton list 95lb-ft for rear wheels on f150s and f250s and 210lb-ft or 225lb-ft for dual rear wheel f350s but they do not list for the front wheels on f350? ...which I need to know...

They also specify 1/2 and 9/16 but the lugnuts on this truck require a 1+1/16" socket to fit the lugnuts? and the light duty trucks are a 13/16' socket for their lugnuts...

So what is the torque spec for the front wheels of an f350 please?

The '73 Ford shop manual shows:
F350, P350, P450 w/ dual rear wheels & 7400 lb axle 9/16"-18 stud
210 ft/lbs
It also shows a P350, P40w/ 17" wheels & 5/8"-18 studs
also 210 ft/lbs
The only other "big" lug spec listed is for the P500 w/ 3/4"-16 or 1 1/8"-16
the torque spec for that one is 450 ft/lbs

so should the front wheel lugnut torque match the rears at 210?
OR is the front wheel lugnut torque less?

The chart doesn't specify front/rear so as long as the front and rear use the same size studs, the torque would be the same.
