For the body mount carriage nuts, the head should recess into the square hole in the floor pan so finger tighten the nuts then snug up with wrench. The off center LMC star washers will help especially if the hole is rounded out.

I swear I’ve seen the recommended ft lbs torque but can’t recall where. Maybe the chassis service manual? Does 35 lbs sound correct?
