The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Original tire size for 63?

Where can I get the original tire size for the 63 chevy fleet swb truck? I'm not sure what size tiere to put on this thing fojr the street.

thanks

Does the truck have any tires on it now? What size are they? Are the rims original? What size are the rims? A quick guess might be a 7.00/15 or in radial speak something like a 205/85R15. That would be close to a stock size. Of course if you wheels are the optional 16 inch wheels then buy 16 inch tires.
We need a little more info from you.

6.70x15 was the standard size, optional bigger sizes for higher GVW rating

Thanks for tthe info. The truck now has a mix up set of aggressive bald mud tires that extend past the wheel well. The truck has stock 15" rims and I want to put stock size tires that will be good for street driving and not pulling stumps on the farm.

Thanks

I have 225/75/15s,, real close to the OE 7.00/7.50/15, speedo is within 1 mph so they are close to stock height. Brian
