Not sure how the 68 compares with the 66, but here is a possible reference point if the exact numbers for '68 cannot be found...

Not sure how the bolts and mounts compare...

"Torque body mount bolts to 35 ft. lbs. for 33 through 38 Series.

For 52 through 86 Series, torque bolts to 45 ft. lbs.
Figure 2-3 illustrates the use of shims at No. 3 and 4 body mount locations on 56, 58 and 84 Series convertibles. The shims are used to obtain correct door alignment, a maximum of two shims for each of the mount locations.
For installation of body mounts, refer to Figs. 2- 3 and 2- 4."

This translates to about 1/2 - 3/4 "Gorilla Tight" for those using that scale.

In the 72's manual, it quotes:
"Tighten body mounts to 40 ft/lbs for all series."
This is right in between the values given for '66 - how coincidental...
One size fits all - easy to remember when I do this fun task next year or so!
