I am at the "tire stage" now and was wondering what the stock tires would be on that. I thought I read 225/75/R15. Am I right? If someone could help me out and maybe post a pic of what it looks like on the truck I would greatly appreciate it.

They would have been bias ply tires. The first standard issue radials in America didn't come out until 1970 when Ford introduced them. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | 6.70-15 would be the OEM standard size. In a modern P or :T Metric radial size, the closest match would be a 215/75/15.

Stock tires should also help reduce my RPM's since they are a bit taller than what I have on it now. Maybe not a lot, but every bit helps. | | |
