rear axle nut torque spec

I have a 1997 F250 with a 460. What is the torque spec for the nuts that hold the rear hub on? It is a full float axle. Thanks

I don't think there is a torque spec for the inner, just set it like the front wheel bearings on a 4x4, but the outer should be around 45-50ft/lbs, then bend the tab over to lock it.

45 ftlbs was way to much. Couldn't even turn the hub. So I just hand tightened until there was no play in the hub up and down or side to side. The nut has a type of collar around it that as it starts to tighten up clicks and prevents the nut from backing off.
