torque specs needed for steering box

Need specs for mounting plate to box and mounting bolts and pitman arm ?

My steering box was spewing oil and friend gave me a box with less miles so planed on replacing box and my installing new borgenson shaft....
the top shaft with spring and spline on it that should stay in truck slide out.....it is a d-shaft and I assume some type of pin for collapse of shaft in a accident...
Is there a way to replace that pin ?

Not easily. I suggest you install a setscrew or tack weld the Borgeson. A set screw or tack weld will bust loose in the event of a crash.
