Torque for a couple bolts?
Anyone have torque settings for these things? Some are aftermarket, but anything close would be appreciated.
- drag link nut at the pittman arm
- bolts that hold the steering box to the frame
- trackbar joint
thanks in advance!

Which model and year truck do you have? Is it 2wd or 4wd? You are asking about a drag link, so I assume it's a 4x4. What is a trackbar? Do you mean the spindle connecting rod?
Here are the spec for 1973-

=================
Bronco, F100 ( 4x4): 60-80 ft/lbs
Econoline, F100-F350, P-Series, F-250 (4x4): 50-65 ft/lbs.
Drag Link Studs
===========
E-100, E-200: 45-55 ft/lbs
All others: 60-75 ft/lbs
Spindle Connecting Rod Studs
=======================
F100-F350, P-Series, E300: 60-75 ft/lbs
E100, E200: 45-55 ft/lbs
