I have a 1953 Chevy truck and I changed the front tie rods to modern tie rods . My question is can I run p 235 75 r 15 tires in the front without clearance problems ? I have a 15 by 7 rim in the front with bias plys but want to use radials instead

As long as the wheels have the correct backspacing (no more than 3 1/2"), that size will be fine.

I am running 235x75x15R and have no problem with them as long as your back spacing is not to great. root

I'm not sure what size my rims are, but I've got 235/75R15's on my 51, no problems. Curious about the tie rod end swap. I need to check mine, did you just replace the ends or are other parts needed? John
