I'm assuming that when its unladen (ie most of the time) the rears won;t need much pressure.

Anyone got a '64 C10 handbook with it listed please? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It depends on the tire size. I carry 40 psi in front & 32 in the rear. You could run a little less in front with power steering.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

However, this is for bias ply tubeless tires. I run 35 in the radials on my '66. You don't want to fill the tire to "max" pressure. The truck will ride like a brick!! Not to mention tire wear issues. You'll be fine with 35 psi all around. For heavy duty operation, you could increase pressure by 5 psi. Just don't forget to adjust the pressures back to 35 psi when unlaiden.
