Torque Specs for Super Duty Bed Bolts

I'm putting a new bed on my truck, cause the old one is rusted. I've got new bolts to put in just would like to know the torque specs for the bolts.

Use German torque specs. Gudentight. Not real critical.

The factory tightens the **** out of them. Don't recall if they used an adhesive or not.

What I do recall is twisting to the point that they sheared in half, two large Torx bits on a 1/2" drive breaker bar. Not easy to remove, at all.
