Question Driveshaft to rear end bolts torque

I replaced my u-joints (and boy did it need it). my question is when I went to replace the driveshaft bolts(the four in the rear) that connect the DS to the rear end can anyone clarify the torque to these bolts I'm not sure the exact name of these bolts to get it from my manual. My manual mainly keys on split DS and u-joint with u-bolts.

Here's a copy and paste out of the shop manual avail in the merry christmas thread.

INSTALLATION
(1) Slide the slip yoke onto the transmission, or
transfer case, output shaft.
(2) Align the reference marks made on the propeller
shaft yoke/flange yoke and pinion yoke/companion
flange.
(3) Align and install the center bearing to the support
bracket, if necessary.
(4) Install the bolts and tighten to 68 N·m (50 ft.
lbs.).
(5) Position universal joint into pinion yoke for
Dana axles and tighten strap bolts to 29 N·m (22 ft.
lbs.).
(6) Position companion yoke onto the companion
flange for Corporate axles and tighten the bolts to
108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.).
(7) Lower the vehicle.
