Torque setting for cab mounts?

I installed the cab on my 1990 F-150 a while back. I'm getting ready to put the carpet and stuff back in the interior but before I do I want to know if I should torque the cab mounting bolts or not? If so, how much should I torque them down to? I've Googled the question, but couldn't find an answer.

I'm sure there are specs , but just tighten them up with an impact gun , or get them as tight as you can

I would wait to torque them till you have the nose and bed on for proper alignment. They are 7/16 and that means 35-40ft lbs

I've got them pretty tight now. I've been told to use an impact on them before, but wanted the actual torque specs to make sure I didn't overtighten them. I have the bed on it now loosely bolted on because it was taking up to much valuable floor space in the garage and the body lines match up pretty good right now.

Thanks for the input!
