Dana 50 ball joint torque

Can someone point me to the torque
Specs for a Dana 50 front end. Ball joints, spindle nuts, etc.
I have bad Internet and have been searching in my phone for 45 minutes with no luck. Everything I find is for 87 and newer. Thanks.

1985 F-250 4x4 460 with Dana 50.

This picture has some torque numbers in it.



Here's some other numbers;

Install the splash shield and spindle on the knuckle. Tighten the spindle nuts to 60 ft. lbs.

Ball-joints:Tighten the bottom nut to 80 ft.lb.
Tighten the top nut to 100 ft.lb., then, (tighten) advance the nut until the cotter pin hole align with the castellations. Install a new cotter pin.
Again tighten the bottom nut, this time to 110 ft.lb.
