Torque specs
Torque specs 
Put my car on the trailer, strapped it down and noticed this bolt was loose. The nut is missing. I am gonna have to pull the bolt out and go find a nut and washer for it. Does anyone have a torque spec for it??

That looks like the bolt to your tubular lower control arms. I happen to have the instructions (UMI) right in front of me because I am getting ready to swap my tubulars out with another set while I put new bushings in the old set.
When you tighten that bolt up the car needs to be jacked up by the rear axle, place jack stands under the axles, then let the weight rest on the jack stands to prevent bushing pre-load. Then tighten them to 72 ft lbs.
