1979 F250 Cab mount replace

I am replacing my cab mounts on my 1979 F250 4x4 crew cab. I ordered some cab hardware but it didn't come with torque specs. Could someone tell me what torque I should be placing on these cab mounts? Thanks for the help.

Manual says to torque them 55-70 lb.feet.The mounts for the radiator support torque at 32-38 lb.feet.
