Steering Box to Frame Torque setting

I would like to verify the torque setting for the bolts holding the gearbox to the frame. On another (old) post I found 54-66 lbs, I set it at 55lbs. Just want the piece of mind I got it right. While I'm asking I set the Pittman arm to 200lbs, is that good?

Thanks and Cheers!

People post in the wrong section all the time. If you omit specific identification information, you'll either be asked for it or you'll be ignored. Which would you prefer?

50-67 lb/ft per WSM.
