What book do you trust? Torque specs.
So, I'm going to be doing some work on my truck... I'm trying to tackle some repairs that include, hub assembly, shocks, tie rods, lower and upper control arms. I'm very picky about doing things the right way the first time. I've been looking online for service manuals because I want to know the torque setting for every bolt. I'm not looking to get my on hands on a "free book" I don't mind paying some cash I just don't know what book to get.
Any book recommendations would be great I'm trying to do this work in the next 3-4 weeks and I want to "pre-game" this as much as possible since I don't have much experience in automotive tech work.
If the ford factory manual is the one to get I guess that's what I must do. I just want to make sure I get the right copy since there seems to be tons of service manuals for my truck...
Sorry for bringing up another "Torque spec" topic but I've had no luck the last few days finding the right answers.

Exactly what those guys said.
Grab the workshop manual & the wiring diagram one.
I ordered mine from Helm Incorporated (Helm Incorporated - Official Ford Workshop Manuals)
Some people think it's too pricey - but it's worth it to have all of the information.

Machinist Handbook… IMHO !
Bolt size verses thread type verses diameter.
They should all be the same.
Although my handbook is dated 2000, maybe out of date… NOT !
Some special bolts and nuts need to be set to factory specs but they are few and far between.
AND yes the factory book are good references and the pictures are good too, lol, but not an absolute necessity if the money is short.
