Rear upper strut bolts- 21 lb ft. It's in the Haynes manual, worth the cost.

I don't see Haynes manual for f series cars on their website. Is that for the 'hat' to the strut or the strut to the body (I actually need both)?

Strut to hat is 22.

Lower strut bolt 114.

I can't remember where I got mine, but pretty sure it was in the US. Though now looks like everything is UK only. This came up on a google search, not a terrible price:
