Cab/Frame Mount bolts

I am installing new cab mount bushings in my 66 F100 and would like to know how much torque to put on the bolts.

Thanks

No idea, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will answer.
I had my wife with a wrench in cab and socket on bottom, snugged up good. It had a sleeve to avoid crushing the pan, but I don't know that was really necessary.
Then I either did or definitely meant to tack the nut to the bolt for a lock washer.... Avoiding inhaling fumes from plated steel.

Thanks for the reply. Called a friend who is a machinist. With the type and size bolts I am using he gave me the correct amount of torque. He said two grunts should be enough.
