Can anyone tell me the wheel torque for my 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe? Thank you.
Do you mean the lug nut torque?

Hello Tiny, yes the lug nut torque.
Thank you. John
I just found an old handwritten note in my manual for the lug nut torque at 80ft lbs. Is that correct?
It varies by the size of the stud. I believe most passenger cars are 80. Having said that, I never torque my lug nuts. I've never had one come loose in over 60 years. What I have had is lug nuts that have been torqued and are impossible to break loose on the side of the road. I use a 1/2" breaker bar and socket and tighten until it's good & snug but not impossible to get off. Others probably have different methods. (I also put a dab of anti-seize on the threads when I have the nuts off in the garage)
