I've watched this board for a while, and finally registered. I'm rebuilding my grandfathers '53 3800 pickup. It is awfully rough, and isn't worth fixing, but it is such a neat old truck I took the project on anyway. My first question, I have sandblasted the frame, rebuild springs and axles, and would like to get it rolling now. I have blasted and painted the wheels, which were in pretty good shape. Now I need to get some tires on them. My question is, will 7.50-17 work on the front of the truck? They were an option for the rear only I think. There are more tread patterns available in 7.50-17 than in the original 7.00-17. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help, I am sure I'll be back.
