Bolt in C-notch question.
This weekend I'm installing a bolt in c-notch in my '71 2wd blazer.
I order a McGaughy's notch some time ago and am just getting around to installing it. When it arrived the box was torn open and half the bolting was missing. I have one page of instructions. Here's the question. How tight do the bolts have to be? All of the Belltech notches I have done have had a torque value for the bolting. On a side note,... between the blazer tank hanging so low,...the exhaust, hardlines, rubber lines, electrical wires, trailing arms, driveshaft,... This thing is a pain to install. I have the blazer on 6 jack stands, with the rear springs and shocks removed, and the rearend hanging down. My Dropmember was a "piece of cake" compared to this thing. Ha. Sorry for the rant. Any idea how tight the bolts should be?

Re: Bolt in C-notch question.
Heres a chart I've used before, just look @ your bolts, determine their grade & size.... the chart does the rest.

Re: Bolt in C-notch question.
Are you bagging it now. Let me be the first to say....wheres the PICS.?! Run the rearend down and lets take a couple inches off before you throw it back in! 20x10 grey center Torque Thrust with 3" backspace sounds mighty fine!!

Removed 7 rivets from each side, then drilled 8 holes and 3 bag holes on each side. 22 holes total and broke a drill bit off in the last air bag hole. Decided to quit for the night. Hopefully the front will be easier. I do think a Dropmember isn't much more work. The rearend is stay stock. This thing is too rusty underneath, to get too detailed with. Plus this is suppose to be a "quick and dirty" so I can get something done to the '86.
