Dbone, I could not tell you where the tires came from.They were on the truck when I got it and started the restoration 12 years ago. The are recaps and yea I know they are old, but look like new. Can't tell you the RPMS at speed but purrs like cat. I saw a post the other day that linked to two dealers selling 750x16 tires at about 115.00 each. Wallice tires out of Dallas also has them, but I can't find their # now .I,ll look in the paper this weekend and get it.
